Well, good morning, guys.   what a fab. weekend.  sunday was such a great do to drive around with the top off and doors off.  wow!    and it seems like the rest of this week will be a great week.

im so looking forward to jeepfest , I can NOT wait.   just to get ideas and look at all the other rigs, im so stoked.  I am looking to do some trails and just enjoy Jeeping.   just sitting here drinking my 5th cup
waiting for everyone else to arrive at the office.  lol  bunch of slackers.   {hihi}

also, Kvom(kirk) and I installed my JKS quicker diconnects this weekend.  the guy has a Lift in his Garage, how cool is that, and could prob. make anything metal that you can imagine.   what a cool guy, i cant
wait to see his rig.  lots of cool tools, at least its something to dream about, ..  O well   i am just starting my walk, but at least i have u guys to guide me.  

Peace.  headed back to fill my cup again.

It was a gorgeous weekend, and we stayed home for a change, with the daughters leading the schedule with social activities.  Something I have to get used to.

Good football... a rare weekend when the dogs and falcons win... maybe something that will happen more often this year, well hoping anyway.

Make sure you come by the Poison Spyder tent and say hello at Jeepfest.

Just sitting down to get started working myself </LMAO/>

The weekend was great, cool nights Saturday & Sunday with the top down. Put some miles on the jeep (approx 150), everything seems to be in check. Still need to button up a few things (front driveshaft, belly skid) if I plan to wheel at Jeepfest. Went to Jug Tavern Festival on Saturday, didnt see a single Jeep.  WTF

Wish I could drive around with the top off on mine.  In the past 9 months it has only driven about 30 miles! At least it was at Harlan... thats better than nothing right!

This was a great weekend for sure...weather was great, 4wparts ride was awesome, my Dawgs played a little "Old Man Football" and hung 40+ on MIzzou.  Can't wait for some camping and wheeeling at GatR Fest!!  The weather will be perfect!

I am with you... mine is sitting with a broke and bent control arms. Driving the old civic I bought this weekend. A sunroof is not as good as no top or doors with this weather.

Well, this mornings coffee doesnt taste nearly as good.... Just did the numbers on the first tank of gas and I got 12mpg. Which was to be expected, except I was really not that hard on it all the time. It smells like its running a little rich, so I need to get it hooked up and see whats going on. Time to park it until Jeepfest.  </LMAO/>

Around 15mpg at WOT all times. This is supposed to be a 20-24 mpg engine, so it seems something is not quite right. Probably an O2 sensor.

need to adjust my JKS Quicker Disconnects, and tweek some things myself.   still need to get my fire extinguisher and a few other odds and ends for jeepfest.    taking 1/2 day on Fri. so i can get up there early and
get used to where everything is located.  not sure where the vendors will be on Friday or sat.  but I'm sure i will find them.

busy morning for me, was up at 4am, pushing code, running SQL.  blah blah.    enjoyed my ride in this morning, a bit on the chilly side, but the new spidershade top stayed on running 60mph.  on 78, so its pretty sturdy stuff.

been surfing eBay, i got 150 in eBay gift cards that's burning a hole in my pocket. . .   i need some rock sliders, the mopar step bar will get ripped off on the first bump i hit I'm sure, hopefully nothing that extreme
at jeepfest beginner and intermediate courses.. ..  I hope?   i was thinking about just taking them off for this weekend.  i plan on giving them to my daughter for her JK.  she wont off road, and she likes mine anyway..

things on my to do buy list..  
* cut flares
* new side rockers/armor ? protection
* Lockers for front. looking at lunchbox or something not too expensive.
* Front bumper that's is wench ready. . i like the simple look..
* remove front lightbar, move 2 lights up to hood to mount with brackets.
* actually hook up the lights so they work, so i can do some nite trails.
*
*.. and the list goes on.  as of now, I'm guessing my list may change based on my jeepfest fun.  but who knows....

so, that's what I been doing this AM ..  on my 5th cup.  headed back for more.!

I might sell my rugged ridge rock sliders. Let me know if you are interested and we can work something out. I forgot, do you have a 4door too?

Edit: just saw you're 2 door. Oh well

Happy - Wed.   working from home again today.   will be off to visit allsouth around lunch to see phantom.   i wish the weekend was here. 

coffie auto kicked on around 4am, up at 4:30, took the dog out, (shepard/Chow Mix) lit out after a rabbit, .. it went under the fense she went over.   :hlp   with only about 1/2 a cup in me, in my PJ's
i took off.   caught her on the otherside of the neighbors house trying to get into his shed.   {salute}   ..   

after not yelling at her too bad.   heck.. shes a dog, its what they do.  ..  anyway, one less rabbit in my yard.   </ROCKIN/>

still trying to find out what i can blow my 150 in ebay gift cards on.  nothing jumps out at me, some of the bumpers and side rock rails kind of scare me as to if its really something worth buying?

anyway.   ..   

Off topic.   i have this fabric wrapped around my roll bars on my jeep, covering the metal, do u guys leave that on or take it off?  i guess its to keep the metal dry? and keep scratches, not sure what everyone else does...

 {btt}  need some more.   {letseat}
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: BigJerm on September 12, 2012, 06:46:17 AM
Rock rails are always a good investment in my book. They give protection and a step. The JK has several rock rail options that install using the body mounts and not drilling the tub. I am going to say you don't want to drill the tub so this is your best bet. Screw the bumpers, you got a stock one cut down, get a winch plate and a winch and save lots money

Yea, Poison Spyder are sick looking.  a bit on the $$ side but im sure well worth it.  I like these.  Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers http://shop.poisonspyder.com/Jeep-JK-2-Door-Sliders-p/17-08-020.htm (http://shop.poisonspyder.com/Jeep-JK-2-Door-Sliders-p/17-08-020.htm)

Cool.   thanks.

just got back from AllSouth.  what a cool place.  the guys have tons of jeeps in there, doing all kinds of cool things.   guess i found a good place to take my rig for some upgrading or .. if i happen to "snap" something.   :o     

all the guys where super nice.  got my shirt and stickers , and some good advice.  going to remove my cheep/mopar step bars before this weekend, so they dont get ripped.. im giving them to my daughter.  hope i can get some good ideas this weekend. 

*update.  cheap mopar plastic steps are now off.  so only thing to get hurt is the paint and sides. hopefully the easy/interm. trails wont have too much on the rocks.  at least until i can get some protection.  :)

Ok, quick question, whats the diff. between XRC Rock Sliders and SRC Rocker Guards ?  besides price.  both are smittybuilt. 

and....   {letseat}  Good morning...   on pot #2 of my Java     //phantomskull//

i put the dog.azper on her (my dog) this time, and it gives a beep warning before i zap.   all it took was a warning and she stopped short of jumping the fence again.  :) guess i need to keep it on her
a bit longer, till she learns. 

Happy thursday.   I will be leaving for Jeepfest tomorrow around 1pm from snellville.  if anyone wants to group up and ride together , just let me know.

Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: BigJerm on September 13, 2012, 08:43:50 AM
probably some fancy style. The XRC rear tire carrier for my LJ was a bigger, more elaborate design where as the SRC (what I have) is a basic design, lighter, better looking IMO.

I need some fresh air tomorrow.  Need to take a drive in the JK..

Anybody already going or want to head up to the hills? 

Is Berts crowded after Halloween?

Where is the best Apple Cider to be found?

I know Berts is ridiculously crowded before Halloween, probably not bad this weekeend.  Most likely the last weekend it will be open but check on that.

We are heading to the haunted corn maze in Jasper on Saturday evening if you want to join.

Haunted corn maze... that sounds pretty cool.  Time change Sat night too.
Calendar shows haunted maze is closed, regular maze open in Nov.  Do you know something different?
http://kernelkobcornmaze.com/wordpress1/dates/

Berts open thru next weekend but I'll be in Oak Ridge TN so it's this weekend if we're going.  We LOVE the pumkin roll. 

Red Top is close to you Marietta side guys.  Nice to get away without a long drive.

Doug we still need to get a small group one boring weekend and go to Bell Mountain
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: DOUG on November 02, 2012, 11:03:26 AM
Tomorrow is going to be a beauty.

I'll lead you up Bell Mountain.  Wife and kids still have not been. 

I could head up early to Bell.  It's a short ride up and down, and 20 minutes at the top is more than you will need.

Then lunch in Hiawasee,

and off to Berts Farm for Cider and Pumkin Roll,

Finish at the maze in Jasper but haunted was the real draw...

and then home.

Must seek management approval lol

Yep, maze looks pretty big so we are hoping that even though it's not haunted it will still be fun.  We plan to send the boys out to "haunt" it.

Well, its about 6am.  after working sunday after i got home, i finally got a nice shower in my own home.  wife had a nice home cooked meal ready , and we watched a few movies together.  was very
nice.   

So on the drive home I was following David/David Sr and Ryan we all where headed in about the same direction ATL.  made the drive go much faster.   I appreciate the friendships i made/strengthend over this weekend.  they even helped me when my DSC came on during my drive home. 
(http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj315/kent10s/IMAG0157.jpg)   

now the JKs'  or at least mine has a seperate toggle for this where it is when its toggled on..

 (http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj315/kent10s/IMAG0158.jpg)

So when we stopped to pee  {popcorn}  David took a look and said that cause my stearing wheel was not straight that i just had to losen up and retighten/adjust the stableizer a bit and it would go off.   ;D

i like simple answers.  so i will work on getting this done this week, i still need to take my rig after work and spray all the mud off.    any suggestions on getting the caked on mud from the door jams out?
i dont want to soke the inside of my driver/pass floor or seat, nor do i want to blow mud back in.  how do u guys best clean this? 

need to find me a guy selling his rubi lift (shocks/springs) to get me up to about 3inch.  Ryan did very well lifted and he has no lockers.   

(note to self.. dont say.. no lockers no problem until im all the way up the hill.)  made it up a hard hill and right at the end after i made that statement, i started to spin.  but a slight bump and i was up..  {hihi}

also, those of you that served our country. thanks for the job you did and for defending our country, even if we have an idiot in office, you all should know, we back home appreciate you and what you have
all given, thanks.   {salute}

so my new short list.
1.lift
2.longer JK quick disconnects
3.stearing stableizer ( need the kit that moves it ontop of the bar... thanks David for that suggestion)
4.winch
5.Front lunchbox lockers
6.rear air lockers

spotty little things , like getting my CB tunned better.. getting shorter cable, and going to re-wire it better (thanks David and Ryan)  Ooo..  need some more coffie. 

if anyone has any pics of my rig, i only got a few at the camp site.  i will post them after i upload them. i think someone took a video of me going up a small hill.  i need  some to
show the wife i actually did something, she wondered if i just went to a mud hole all weekend.  lol  i said. David had issues , and it smelled like bologna, im so glad my wife never smelled like bologna. 

thanks again to David and Ryan for all the stories.   and again, to all who served.   {salute}

Thanks for the kind words Kent.
A few things for you bro; 1) The discos you have are adjustable, so if you're planning on going up 3" I really don't think you need to worry about getting new ones. 2) Along with your proposed suspension, I'd recommend better controle arms. Adjustable if at all possible. Allsouth has them for about 160 or so a set (front lower, front upper etc.) They will make a very big diffrence in your articulation range.
One last thing. I may be kinda' bias right now on this but I'm swaring by it. If you, or anyone is looking at a steering stabe I would recommend any day to anyone w a JK at least a duel stabe kit. At first I was skeptical as to what kind of diffrence it would make, but after this weekend I'm blown away!
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: DOUG on November 12, 2012, 08:13:00 AM
Door jambs are clean.  Wash the exterior first.  Remove doors and use a soaking, dripping wet towel end to wipe the jam, top to botom, keeping all the mud and water out, and use the dry end of the towel to dry it.

The disco's won't reach if he lifts 3".

Rubi springs will not lift you 3".  Was that a typo or did he tell you it would lift 3".  I think it's .5-1".

Adjustable control arms are almost a must for lifting for proper steering geometry, and to tune the driveability.

Ben wheeled 35's on a dana 30 for years with finesse.  If you have a light foot, and can crawl while looking for the right line that will get u up.

Dont worry about bulding it bomb proof yet.  Just wheel easy and take care of the biggest thing slowing you down.

What is more important to you right now?
what has been your biggest hinderence?
Watching you i would assume axle clearance so you need bigger tires and a small lift.

You can add a 2"high budget lift with shock extenders and no control arms for a few hundred dollars.  The dealers do it every day.

Add 35's and u are much more capable.

Go back to all the good advice you got in the budget thread.   :hlp

One lift is over $1000 and no control arms and the other is not for your Jeep for sure.   {no}

My advice is to make a list of the things you want in priority order, and stick to it.  {cheers2}

Post by: kent10sne1 on November 27, 2012, 08:51:16 AM
ya, i was just wondering, after looking at sears. 

i did find a winch, that was/is on the list..   the wife is trying to get me to use the card cause its empty, and she rather have the ability to spread out any out of pocket cash comming up
for other stuff.   

we have 2 in college, and well both are out of state.   and well.  its kind of depleting when you write 2 big checks each month.    :hlp    thats why she pointed me in the direction of sears
thats why i looked.   maybe i could pick up parts , like shocks. or other stuff from there that might be on that list.  im looking at it now.   but i can tell you, the tires are NOT going to happen as
im happy with my 33s.   I am putting my new PS dana 30 diff cover on this weekend, so thats something to check off.  and its added protection.  while i was under my JK, i was impressed at
all the stuff thats already got a cover protecting stuff.   

I get my bonus in march, but mostly that goes to school for the kids, to lessen the monthly payments.  sometimes I feel like stimulus to everyone but me.  lol

ya, well i  made a promise to my daughter, who is in her JR year of nursing, she has made nothing but   A's starting in 8th grade. .  she gets about 1/2 of her school paid for cause of her grades, i foot the bill for the other, she also works 2 jobs and will be working at the hospital in OK that she is doing her clinicals in, so..  i dont feel bad about helping her out..   its the slug son, who is barely passing , in art , for some reason going to class has a direct affect on your grades, he just figured this out.  anyway, this will be the last semister i give him any $$   at least im batting 500  .     

My dad kicked me out of the house at 18 , when i came home from my graduation party, my room was packed, in boxes, and lucky i had a tennis scholership that helped me , but he said, come visit for holidays, but. my room was now. his new Man-cave..  i accecpted it..  paid my way, tennis only paid for 1/2 the school, i had to work and also got a few loans.. but i made it out in 4 years and 1 semister cause my advisor was an idiot.. ..  i wanted to make sure my kids did not have to have it as hard as i did, ...  i missed many meals and did with out alot cause i had no $$.   

but , you make a great point.  they do tend to understand it much much better when its their DIME.   hopefully the son will get that, but my daughter so far is making the grades, and saving her $$.. so
i dont want her to worry about the cost, just study and get a job.... hoepfully what she has saved will allow her to start out life after school with more stuff than I did...

man it sucks to work, did not win the powerball but i did win about 20 bucks only bought 5 numbers so i got my $ back and a tad more.  i guess.. was worth it for a shot at 500 mil.  i guess...  {cheers2}

well, the winch coming from sears, wont make it in time, for some reason its not shipped yet..  Grrrrr..  but I will be with the club and there are plenty of winch's around... i mean the kind that can pull your
rig out of a ditch..  {no}  anyhoo.... orderd the Poison Spyder Winch Fairlead Mount[/b] for my Rugged Ridge Heavy Duty 8500 LB Winch 15100.01.  I hope the install is simple.  I also have a few other things coming.  using my amazon gift cards i got this stuff thru them, Smittybilt 76635 SRC Textured Black Classic Rock Rails and KYB SS11318 Steering Stabilizers[/b] Im not sure why
i got the SS, its to replace my stock on, it looks beat up, plus it was not all that expensive and i wanted to use-up what i had on my card.  hope its easy to put on? 

anyway, if Danny can slap on my new locker Wed, I should beable to put the SB SRC RR on maybe the SS, hopefully i can play a bit more on the holiday ride?  ..

Im pretty sure that all of that was/is my xmas , my wife has requested i get her "Apple TV", "Apple keyboard for her IPAD2" and "Slingbox"  personally i think i came out way ahead, but im sure she has purchased some shoes or other items i dont know about ..  {popcorn}

Installing a winch is easy once the winch plate is on the bumper.  Winch bolts to the plate with 4 bolts, and the fairlead bolts to the plate.  Then you just need to run cables to the battery and ground.

Think about replacing the steel cable and roller fairlead with synthetic rope and an aluminum fairlead.  Much safer all around.

Ooo  its Monday again..    was up at 4am at work by 4:30.  got the code installed to all the production boxes/servers.  now just checking on stuff.   dont think my winch will be here in time for the
holiday ride (pissed at sears) but i should have my lockers/spacers on wed thanks to Danny and the crew at AllSouth.  im also going to slap on my "Smittybilt 76635 SRC Textured Black Classic Rock Rails" i picked these up from fedx on friday, heavy and seem very strong.  hopefully they will provide the added protection just incase.   

Dogs lost , but they played hard, just could not hold up to bamas running game and got some poor coaching advice down the streach, hopefullly they will makeup for it in the bowl game, and I will be
expecting..  let me say that again.  demanding, Bama lay an old fashion butt kicken on the Irish.  </ARMATA/>   

put up some xmas lights over the weekend, making the wife happy.   still need to do some more, but at least we look all xmas for when the kidns come hope for xmas break.   

im so looking forward to fri/sat/sun   relax and camp, have a few beers and just take in some good clean wheeling.   im excited to see how the new lockers will work and feel, maybe get a pic of my new PS diff cover.   {popcorn}   

i think i will bring an air mattress this time, im getting old and well ..  the hard ground is just starting to get the best of me now..   </LMAO/>

so..   how is everyone else this fine monday, how was your weekend.   ?

Happy Tue.   ;D

as the holidays approach, i just feel like im eating all the time.  lol   went to teds last nite, love that pecan crusted trout.   {letseat}

anyway.  up since 4am again, this shit happens in 2's     :smoke   so hopefully im done for the week.   tomorrow ill be at allsouth bugging the piss out of the techs
and just being a general pan in the butt wandering around.   {popcorn}  hopefully they will let me help and watch  //OLDSKOOL//

i still have not put my RR src sliders on, nor painted my PS diff cover (i need to do this tonight) its powder coated, i just want to outline the spyder in red.   </ROCKIN/> for that extra touch.

my winch should be here tomorrow , while im at allsouth, im guessing i can install it my self.  so maybe i will bring that with me friday, and if i need help , their should be plenty of u guys
friday at the campsite that can help.?

forsure, im looking at my new front lunchbox lockers on the front, and new ps diff cover for added protection, new wheel spacers and a replaced steering stablizer. 

anyone know the weather outlook for fri-sun for the holiday ride?  just wondering if i needed to bring extra blankets..

well, starting my 2nd pot of java still no one here at the office.   

well, chime in, hopefully today will be short.   after my lunch workout, i have a 2hr disaster recover meeting..  which i will prob. drift in and out of reality.   </LMAO/>

Kent
go ahead and get the winch plate and winch mounted to the bumper before you leave on Friday. If you need help with running the wires and connecting to the battery, I would be glad to help you on Friday afternoon...but give the mounting a a try at home.  Pretty easy, KVOM gives you the steps in a past post above.

Really!  :bs)   dirt adds something to a jeep.   </LMAO/>   after each outing, i spend 5$  and spray nothing but UNDER.  anyway.. i know.   i also noted several war scars under my jeep while
it was on the rack.   glad to have some skid plates under their protecting stuff.   i may add 1 more for the Oil pan.   ;D   

anyway..  im stoked , i also had my Steering stablizer replaced.   but after driving off the lot.  this came on, which generally comes on when i go into 4x4 or flip the anti-skid switch ? not
sure, but it came on after windrock on the way home. i made a post about it.  after a few hundered miles it suddenly went off?   strange?  WTF  its that symbol in the middle, not the flat tire sensor..

You should give that a read in your owners manual so you'll have a full understanding of when it works, what it does, and what the light means.  Mine is on all the time as I have tractio control turned off.  It will brake a rear wheel in a hard turn in the mountains at cause it thinks I'm sliding and I would never be able to keep up with some of these guys lol.

Did you watch them do the locker?  Not to hard huh?

I've never received a winch that was spooled from the factory, so you'll probably need to tension it and spool it.

Mere mortals did it, just a series of dis-assembly and assembly, and you can learn to do it too. However, sometimes I find it is cheaper to pay someone to do it than buy everything required to do it.   

Front is locked now and you will notice a HUGE, GIGANTIC difference.

ok, i would like one of your more skilled guys to check out how i weaved the power up to the battery to make sure its ok, and out of the way.  but everything else was
fairly easy, very tight getting to front bolts and the ground is Under the motor, very hard to deal with, but i managed.  the sliders where cake.    power tools would help
but.  thats another battle im not ready to have with the wife.  lol

Came spooled!  I forgot that kind does.

Wheel, and re-tighten everything.

Well, Im much better this morning.   Kick-boxing yesterday allowed me to take out my frustration, with a good workout planned for today, im pretty sure all my stress will just melt away.

I have ordered the simple 1.75"  it only consists of Front: Polyurethane coil spacers. Rear: Polyurethane coil spacers. and according to wes, my JK disco that i have on will be good from 0-2"
so i can just unbolt that nut in the middle and lengthen them as needed.   not much but it will grant me a tad bit.  also looking as some more under body protections as dragging my belly seems to
be a part of me wheeling for quite some time. 

starting new pot.  been up since 4:30. had to push some new code to the servers...

My daughter comes in from OK tomorrow, im so excited.  she is almost done with her Nursing, straight A's all the way starting in 8th grade, she did have a scare her 2nd year in college but pulled it out
with a 92 in some finance class.   </LMAO/>   she def. gets her smarts from her mom.   

My Son, well im just praying he passes.   funny how kids turn out like that.  I used to beat my self up about it, but hay, they make their own choices, all i can do is point and nudge them in the right direction.

I got my wife "Apple TV", "Slingbox 350", "wireless Keyboard", "IPod shuffel" and only have a few small stocking stuff to pick up.   Me.  im driving around in mine.  lol 

my daughter only wanted a new case for her IPhone, and said just keep paying for school and her clinical trip to Haundrous .   Heck, she keeps pulling the grades I will do what ever.   Maybe one day
she will take care of the old man.  lol

Well, need to check on the Java.   

and my Mom is coming nxt week, which puts my wife in "mother-inlaw" mode.   she is cleaning and fretting about it..  driving me crazy when u combine that with the mental state of any woman over 50..  geeeshhhhh   :hlp

to becoming an "RN" she seems to like it, i guess, its all she talks about.  and her boyfriend is gotten accecpted to medical school at OU  so i guess
thats good.  so im about a year shy of being done paying for her school    :wav

nice.  glad ur out.   to much drink makes ppl not think.  how long did u have to stay in till they released you?  or did the judge just toss it out?

my prob. is i tend to get into fights after drinking with buddies.   my tolerance for my buddies being insulted. i have only been hauled away 2 times, never made it to jail but been in the

A CO2 tank will operate impact wrenches, air hammers, and nail guns.  Won't work with paint sprayers or grinders.  Still pretty useful for driveway work if a larger compressor can't be used.  A lot quieter too.

Well...

Happy friday all.    headed to Nashville (brentwood) after work.   doing the xmas thing with the wifes family.   returning on sunday, in time for newyears so i can watch all
the football games.  my last fix of college football before the long break.  :(

what a year...    just think, i got my stock JK in March...  now its got some dints, dings, lockers, tires, wheels, stuff...   3:)    does not look the same.  nor drive.   
hopefully i have grown as a driver.   //NOOB//    .   .   but i still have a Long way to go.   hope nxt year I will have much more discussion, and can continue to
pick all of u guys brains and gain some more knowledge.   I made some friendships that i hope continue to grow stronger.  I plan on attending as many events as I can
in 2013. 

i need to get a list of everything i would need to upgrade my gears from 3.21 to 4.1 or higher.   need to start a list so i can slowly work on getting everything i need so
come late nxt year.  maybe i can get Danny and the guys at Allsouth to install it for me.    //SLAMIN//   so hopefully by this time nxt year i can actually "CRAWL" like a real
rocker.   </LMAO/>

need to make more coffee , i think there is actually a few more ppl in the office today.   3 of us sat in the server room and sipped Jack and coke   //TAUNT//  not too much
but what the heck. no one is here.   omg....

VERY difficult to relax last night knowing vacation was over and had to return to the office.  Watched about 20 episodes of Sons of Anarchy of the holidays.  In season 4 now.  Hate when we catch up, like we did with Homeland.

well, was kind of sick yesterday, stayed home.  in bed most of the day. 

found out my wife may be losing her Job soon so, things for me may change.   not sure how we are going to deal with the two in college as her job was funding that..
we will see.

daughter in last Jr. Semester of Nursing school in OK, Clinicals nxt, then she has an internship lined up at a local hospital in OK to work till she begins her Sr. year.
Son, cant cutt it in college so he is in TN looking for employment and a place to live. currently living out of his car, he is looking for shelters around Nashville to have a place to sleep.
so if your a praying person, keep him in your prayers that he remains safe and is able to find employment and a place to live.

funny how kids turn out, funny how we are nothing but a mixture of the choices we make.  raised them both the same yet , they are both traveling different paths?

anyway, its hard on his mother, so keep her in your prayers also if your so inclined to do so.

Me, I need more coffee and i guess my job is going well, reviews are due to be in by the end of this week, then we work on them in Feb and hopefully final numbers are set by early March.
I just got to many fingers in my pockets, but I cant take it with me, at least my investments are holding steady.   12% over the last 3 years Avg.  is how much my 401k grew.   several guys
at the office are upset with me , cause I wont give them details on how i managed that.   (hint) Foreign stocks, was a big key last year , at least for me, and.. Im pretty aggressive, and they
are not.   but its all a gamble, i just go lucky.  i changed it this year, to be more Conservative, i don't see a bright future the way the country is headed, but only time will tell.

One-year percentages can be very deceptive.  My IRA was up 44% in 2009 but that didn't recover losses from 2007-08.

Anyone who has begun investing since 2008 hasn't lived through a bear market.  The same could be said for those who started in Clinton's 2nd term, until the recession hit in late 2007.

If you're young, time is on your side, but you need to resist the urge to sell out at market bottoms.  Your biggest foe in saving for retirement is high fees.  A low-fee index fund is your friend.

Goofy got it stuck in some washes and rocks on the trail. I came up and he was just spinning away slinging rocks and dirt everywhere. I pulled him out but in the process of him wanting to rock it back and forth he bent my bumper when it finally got traction........I did snatch him backwards one time kinda hard.....   ;D

came in early this am, trying to clean up some SQL that the DBA screwed up.   </LMAO/>    she's great, she knows the database but is clueless about our applications, we have tried working with her but
i think she is just comfortable doing what she does, which .. imo makes her a glorified operator.   {no}   but paid like a true DBA..  <rant off> 

My daughter who is in her 3rd year of Nursing to become an RN , in OK   is working in the OBGYN, Monday she helped deliver 2 babbies and Tue she did 1 and yesterday she did 3.  she called last night,
and was so stoked, nice to see your kid get excited about what they plan on doing, she got to do the shots, all the nurse stuff with the new borns, she said she cryed everytime.  <a bit mushy for me> but
she said, its messy and happy at the same time.  i was like..  whatever?  </LMAO/> {popcorn}   at least thats something positive

need to make another pot.  i think all this weather ice issue is a lot of smoke...  they can no more figure out whats going to happen than ....  watching Danny try to figure out who took his new tools in the back  ???

my wife is having foot issues.  "hammer toe"  4 toes on her left foot will have pins, sticking out painful.  anyway she is scheduled for the 15th of march, so im not sure i can leave her just after this ? 
im trying, but i get the "stink eye" when i tell her i have a jeep outing on the 15-17th of march, and she goes in for surgery on the 15th.   Hmmm, not sure that scores any hubby points...

just depressing, but. such is life.  been buys at work, which has keep me off the forms.   to many meetings, moving to a larger SAN and DR testing comming up, just screws up all kinds of surfing and goofing off.

i will keep lurking when i can and hoepfully live thru your mods.  ;)

I guess Casper will just have to wait another month till he gets his rebuilt motor. >:(  I hope its worth the wait.It looks like I'll have to rebuild the motor my self. I was hoping to get that raise this month so I could just have got that motor done by Allsouth and put back in so I could come out and play. Is there a stocks traders out there that can help me learn how to buy stocks? I have a great inside scoop on a Co I know is about to hit big.

Doug, my caliper fell down into my wheel about 2 years ago. Jammed and broke out the inner wheel.  Mine was not repairable but it was darn big break and was aluminum.

Yes. Take off the old, there is usually an allen bolt holding the end of the line. Put on the new line, spool under load. Steel cable isn't all that bad... You have to be a little smarter with it and make sure you don't kink it and such but if I had to pick between syn winch line and skids to keep my jeep running mon-fri I would pick skids.

Heck I wont lie... I ran the Rancho skid on both of my JK's. Its the one that you have to basically glue to the oil pan... While it still doesn't protect the drain plug it took some decent licks and didn't fall off so it was worth the $100 or so I spent. I see a skid row engine skid on there for $309 and a rugged ridge for $231

There is a sawmill close and I think we can get them hauled for free if we can load them.  Awesome lumber trees. Probably 4 loads.

I have a chipper here that will do up to 16" or bigger so we will chip the small trees and all the limbs. Can have a bobcat with grapple too.  No hurry if the trees are down and gone.

Might have another option to help too.

Well , Gulches is over..  had fun.  camping, and wheeling.   is till need a ton more seat time.  i still struggle crawling and being soft on the small pedal but with crappy gears, i tend to move way faster than i need to so im kind of jerky.  but hopefully with more seat time i can get better.   being locking in the front is nice, i see how locking in the back helps., also but being able to turn it off and on, can get you setup to a better line.  esp in the slick mud.  learned alot watching guys play with this over the weekend.

for now, im content to put some more skids under, i had fun with my 1.75" lift, and new shocks (Thanks AllSouth)  it def. feels diff. esp on the highway.. i now have a jar. for Regear, and one for new lift., not the puck one i have but a more over all one with springs.. etc.. , maybe in 4 years, i can make the trip to Moab with the big boys.  thanks for all the help i got this weekend.  was fun.  i wish i could say all day sunday, it was nice when i was leaving.   //embarrassed//   i really wanted to stay.

Tentrax would be my top pick for a small tent trailer for the wrangler. There are several other brands out there though, Manley trailers, Sierra, Adventure Trailers, Conqueror, and the list keeps going. Or you could go for like a Pikes Peak trailer and add the RTT yourself. I would also look at the Lifetime tent trailers. Spacious and can be used a trailer to haul things and then put in the tent when you are there. Jumping Jack trailers are a similar idea to the Lifetime trailers.

According to the press release on that link the base Mopar trailer is $9,995 and the high model is $11,995 and that was for 2010.
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: Krawler00 on April 09, 2013, 04:46:25 PM
Weight: 1,050 lbs  :o man, I would look at building one. There are kit trailers you can buy and make them the way you want. My little trailer project is 450lbs. It does not have a tent attached but will have everything you need to bring with you on a trip. No way in hates I would spend what any trailer company wants for one of these. They are super cool, but way over priced! I have seen base models for $4000 up to $10,000 WTF

Cheap, light at 700 lbs but still allows you to haul things when not in camp mode. Would suck to spend a few grand on a trailer that can only be a tent trailer and nothing else.

jeep in front of me looks the same.  The other side looks right.  Must be the packed sand in the main lane some but...

25 psi

40-1350's on 8.5" wheels

I think the edges might be worn from a week in Moab at 10 psi and wheels suckum in.  You'll see.

gotta put in some hours Friday but leaving with Annie Friday night to Chattanooga.  will prolly hit up a hotel and whatnot but gonna be at the park at 8 am Saturday.  Hope all goes well with the new digs.  Still hearing a little noise from what could be a stretched TC chain.  Gotta put some miles on it before inspection on Monday at AS for the 500mile checkup.  A friend is coming to to take a few shots we might use for " save the date" pictures for our wedding next year.  Should be a fun time. 

When is anyone else planning on getting there?  Who else is going for sure?  Either way gonna be fun.  Starting to pack now.  Deciding weather or not to bring the Beast ( Gibson ).

pretty slugish on the 35's at 3.21 gears, but need to play off road some.   they do drive/feel different so this will take some getting used to.   

going camping at vogal this weekend up north GA.  maybe look for some light trails.   hope the weather holds.

im already looking forward to windrock.   its like i need a week long wheeling event.   i know moab is like that, but, im years away from having big boy pants to tackle that place.

when i retire, im going to just hang out at Allsouth, bug Adam and Danny.  for some reason that garage smell, never gets old.   //cheers2//

Tyler sold a ton of stuff at the Fair in Snellville, was a good confidence booster, made me feel good, now he is working on more stuff, and thanks to everyone at gulches that where friendly to him, he still has good and bad days, and he knows he will be an adict all his life.  I think his biggest struggle is dealing with the guilt..  he just needs to not let it bully him.

Yes it is the first Sunday of every month. It's off windward parkway (exit 11 on 400). There was a new McLaren MP4-12C there today and last month a Bugatti Veyron. 500-600 cars show up easy countless lambos, Ferraris, lots of classics. Anything and everything you could imagine. You can pull up youtube and search caffeine and octane and see what it's all about. My only complaint is that it's getting so big, people are starting to arrive earlier and earlier. I pulled in a 6:30 this morning and the main lot was almost full.

I only make it every few months bc it is so early. I have been going for about 5 years and its been at 6 different venues bc it has outgrown them so quick. It's almost too big for the new location now; it is starting to pour into the home depot parking lot now.

If you own a lot of property, vote for the tax.  Do recognize the tax will likely never go away.  if you rent or own a very little bit of property do not vote for the tax.  if they do not collect the tax money from this tax they will collect it through property tax.  those are my thoughts.

keep in mind one of the few positives of a sales tax....yes, you pay it when you buy in Gwinnett but so do all the other people that come into your county to buy stuff. 

And if you don't buy a lot of stuff, it affects your personal economy less.

I voted for SPLOST each time since at least the money raised goes to local improvements; and I tend to spend money here rather than going elsewhere.  Other than a misguided proposal to double-lane Castleberry Road, I've been happy with every SPLOST project here in Forsyth.  We did have a dispute with the city of Cumming over their fair share;  I'm not sure that 8000 city residents deserved 40% of the proceeds vs. the other 170,000 county residents, but they did work out something in the end.

Add in sex and gambling...and actually allow them, and I will agree even more!  Some may consider those luxury items, so they may be covered already. :)

That sucks.  just finished filling my rear diff with 80w90 gear oil, filled till it started oozing out the fill plug.  simple.  no metal chunks on the drain plug so that was good news.   bad news, did not get sufficient gear oil to do the front, so.  need to run to the store to get  1.35 quarts or 2.7pints.    this seems easyer than changing the engine oil.   //SLAMIN// 

i wonder if i need different oil once i get lockers?  or keep using cheap stuff.  im trying to do this as often as i change my engine oil.  unless i dont wheel any between engine oil changes..  still new to all this maintenance stuff.

Buy the gallon jugs.  Generally diff oil is good for a long time unless you get into mud and water.  No need for anything special with a locker either.

I use a more expensive oil product (Lucas) and I run the 85-140 non-synthetic oil in my diffs.  I have 4.88 gears with a real locker in both.  As we come into winter, I *may* switch to 80-90, but more research (internet reading) is needed.

Use the Jeep....

That's my backup plan.  Now I have to do one of the following (jeep is so much higher than my truck's hitch):
- get a drop hitch and big ball (I like this one the best since I don't have to much with the hitch currently on the truck)
- get a 2" hitch relocation adapter (drops the 2" hole down about 10") and use my existing hitch
- just hook the trailer chains to the Jeep enough to pull it out of the mud pit and then hook it to the truck

I'm open to other suggestions

Title: Re:
Post by: cudruln on December 09, 2013, 11:28:28 AM
Drop hitch. But can you not just jack up our pick the trailer up to hook it to the jeep just to move it out of the mud?

Edit: just seen you had what I suggested already listed. So yeah just yank it out

Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: DOUG on January 10, 2014, 04:43:04 PM
2.5" is not enough to require it really as the track bar and drag link would not be parallel. 

3.5" is the first JK lift to really require it, and the Rk kit includes a raised track bar mount for excellent alignment.

Kent, look at your drag link, it goes in from underneath the knuckle.  When you flip it, you drill it out and insert a bushing and install it from the top.  The alignment is important so that the axle moves up and down without transferring energy into the drag link and the steering wheel called bump steer.

No can flip jk tie rod on stock jk knuckle. Not enough room, even if you flip the drag link.

TRE is Tie Rod End. Which is also on each end of the drag link.

I was talking about taking the tie rod and flipping it on the top side of the knuckle and not messing with the drag link. I know that can be done on a TJ so I ASSumed there was the same ability on a JK.

If the drag link is messed with, the track bar needs to be in the same manner. If not, you screw with the Ackerman angle which in return causes bump steer like you stated.

Wanted to share something my Daughter is/has been writing a blog.  she is in her last few months of college as a Nursing student, she already has a job offer to work at the heart institute in OK city
and seems to be really ahead of the game when it comes to having both feet on the ground.   sometimes i wonder if she is even mine?  lol

A good read when you get a chance.

Here is the link to her entire blog, there are several other good reads but i am cutting and pasting the one below that moved me. --->  http://thanktheday.weebly.com/ (http://thanktheday.weebly.com/)

Paying Attention
02/01/20142 Comments
 
Attention.
We all want some attention once in awhile. To have the full and undivided time and attention from someone, whether its someone you know or someone else. It's natural. It makes you feel special and good, because attention, real focus, is difficult to find now a days.

Tonight I had dinner with four adults including my nana. It was her 75th birthday. All of them were worried I wouldn't want to go with them because they were "just a bunch of old people", but even though it wasn't my ideal Saturday night, I'm so thankful I went. Tonight, I saw what it was like to have someone really pay attention. This generation didn't grow up with iPhones and Facebook. They were raised within the conversation and house parties era. To get to know someone, you didn't just find them on Facebook; you physically talked with them and gave them your time and efforts. You weren't distracted by the technology around you. Your focus was with people. Not one of these four people had a phone out, nor did they concern themselves with anything related to it. I heard and saw conversation filled with laughter, stories from the past, and friendships that are still so strong all because it wasn't about the concerns they had for themselves, but rather the concerns of others. They have paid attention.

So instead of seeking attention so much, I think if we start paying attention more, how much richer our lives will be, deeper our friendships, and better our future.

Today, I am thankful for paying attention.

I can empathize, I have had to do this twice in my career.  The worst was in 2008 when everything was tanking, I had to layoff 25 members of my team (75 total at the time).  Hopefully the company is doing right by them with severance, healthcare, etc...  No way around it, it really sucks.

Wow we had a major storm last night. We were out of power for 12 hours. Been working nights it was so much fun coming home at 1:30 this morning and trying to go asleep with no AC. Finally got the generator running this morning. I have 2 company's coming out to price out 8 stalling entire house automatic generator. I can see this being a frequent thing up here in the woods
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: 94xjsport94 on September 03, 2014, 11:51:42 AM
I wired in a box outside our basement for a generator when the ice storms were supposed to come through two years ago. It is similar to a dryer hook up, just turn the generator on outside, turn off the main breaker to your house so you aren't backfeeding the line, plug in the generator to your outlet, turn that breaker on in the panel and then you have some electricity to run some essential things like a fridge, some lights, and maybe the stove/ oven depending on how big of a generator you have.

Try restarting a bakery when the power goes out... We have 2 bread lines and a bun line each with 3000 amp main breakers. When the power goes out you have about 6-7 people running around in the dark trying to get the whole plant started up in about 15-20 minutes, if you have all three phases. If you don't check to make sure you have all three phases before you charge the breaker up and flip the contacts close and single phase all those motors you probably wouldn't have a job tomorrow lol.

we were losing power almost weekly at the last house. I hooked up a 30kva gen with a automatic transfer switch.
never lost power after.

I am told this is illegal without the proper disconnect that prevents both being open.  You can kill a lineman if you make a mistake or someone throws your main and there is a lineman handling your feed at the pole.

I d the same thing so I'm not preaching.  I wire into a 240 breaker in the box from my 8000w gen.
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: 94xjsport94 on September 03, 2014, 02:31:53 PM
I could see that happening, but I would be the one turning the power on and off so if the lights in my neighborhood work or my neighbors have power I would shut the generator and breaker off then turn the main back on. I'm absolutely sure it could end up like that, but that is for when worst comes to worst. The lineman should be wearing his PPE and handling the wires/ live wires in a manner not to hurt himself or any other workers, but that doesn't always happen like it should either.  I'm sure Carroll EMC/ GA Power certainly doesn't support my idea.

Going to rent a hydraulic splitter.
Do you use a hoist to get the log onto the splitter or does the splitter head turn vertical so you don't have to lift the logs? Or do you just manhandle them onto the splitter?

Yeah I made a trip to Black rock state park yesterday just to see for myself. That corner of the state is usually the first to turn. Still mostly green with some spotty color in areas. Poplars are starting to change but they will loose thier leaves quick if the wind doesn't settle down. Anyway, yes 1.5-2 weeks from now should be peak.

It feels like I need a front end alignment. Looks like it hit front wheel and rubbed the entire length of the car to the back bumper. Wish I was driving the Jeep instead.

I will wash it when I get home so I can see better I am sure it's scratched but can't see in the parking deck here at work.

Headed to Allsouth today to get some steering upgrades, in hopes to solve my steering issue.

Thanks for the positive feedback @kent10sne1 !!

The dual stabilizer is definitely a band-aid, but it's great that it fixed your problem!

We have had great luck with the Synergy DragLink flip!

Description:
- Synergy Jeep JK High Steer Drag Link for 2-Door & 4-Door Jeep JKs
- Includes two new tie rod ends, no factory components will need to be reused
- Made from 1-3/8" 1018 Solid bar
- Abrasive-resistant powder coat finish for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
- Synergy Double Adjuster Sleeve: allows adjustment of tie rod length without removing it from the vehicle
- 100% bolt on components assures an easy, trouble free installation with the use of basic hand tools
- Requires use of Synergy Jeep JK Front Track Bar Bracket when flipping the drag link to the top of the knuckle
- Requires a maximum 4-3/4" backspace wheel or wheel spacer with factory wheel setup. 4-1/2" back spacing is recommended
- Can be used in factory position on bottom of steering knuckle
- Tie Rod and Drag Link both come with our own HD Metal on Metal Tie Rod Ends, 4131-L
Includes:
(1) Drag Link
(1) Rod End Double Adjuster Sleeve
(1) Pinch Bolt Hardware
(2) Tie Rod Ends
 
Notes:
- Installation of Drag Link Flip Kit (included) requires the passenger knuckle to be reamed using a 1-1/2" Tapered Reamer (4011)
- An alternative to this is to use the Jeep JK Tie Rod Flip Adapter (8001-03-01)
- Compatible replacement tie rod end (4131-L) Both Ends use Left Hand Threaded Joints
Requires 16" or larger wheel diameter

Good luck Doug, but I know it will go well. I have had a few removed from my head just under the hat line and two from my shoulder. It's not fun but necessary. Years as a lifeguard and baseball did me in before we really knew about sunscreen.

This is more of a Evening Tea post.  My day started great..unpacked the coolers so they don't stink, got the windows on the Jeep, changed the oil in the lawn tractor, and got the grass cut. 

Decided I needed to use the new-to-me chainsaw.  So, I read the manual (well, I skipped the boring parts...more to come on that), got the fuel and bar oil filled, and went to start it.  Pull, pull, pull, x20 and it cranks, then dies.  Pull, pull, pull another ten times and nothing.  Back to the manual and it states to have the chain lock bar pushed forward...ah!  Now, at this point I questioned why it ever worked, but nevermind that, the manual states to blah, blah, blah.  So I push it forward and try cranking another ten times...nothing.  Back to the manual...if flooded, then blah, blah, blah.  So I pull the spark plug, clean the spark plug, pull the string a few times, re-insert the spark plug, try cranking a few more times and boom...it cranks.  Then I pull the trigger and it dies.  A bit of white smoke comes out, but it must be oil from the flooding that made it to the muffler.  I do that one more time and decide to let it idle to warm up.  I pull the trigger and it dies, but a lot more smoke comes out. 

Turns out I stupidly (ignorantly) didn't pull the bar lock back, so the mechanism heated up and melted some plastic and froze up the system. 

Off to YouTube to see how bad this is going to be.  Turns out it is a fairly cheap lesson, but I didn't get to use my new toy today.  :(  When they state that using the bar lock while the engine is running can quickly mess it up...they aren't kidding around.

The grass is cut though!

Already took the RV to the trailer place to dump the shitter!

Remove some brush, cut some tree limbs, cut up some wood, cut the grass, and think about what an expansion to the house would entail.

 I was looking for a new home, but that got old quick when I thought about moving, a bridge loan, realtor fees, and a longer commute.  Then I was in the basement and thinking about how I like 90% of my beer brewing area and how that would be expensive to redo at a new place...then the epiphany hit:  add a three car garage/workshop to the backside of my current house with one garage big enough for my truck and another with height for a lift...oh and redo the deck.  Urban development rules may kill this idea...investigation time.  Does anyone know someone who does this type of construction who is reputable, reliable, and quality oriented?  If so, PM me, please.

When I did mine the recession had just hit, and good people were dying for any job they could get.  Now a "small" job is less attractive to builders.  On my build I was the general contractor (pulled permits, etc.) and hired a guy as my superintendent.  He had done a lot of work for my neighbors and came recommended. 

Forsyth county rules limited me to square footage based on my lot size and whether the addition was attached or detached.  Subdivision covenants applied other requirements.  Do all the research, and then when building don't cut corners or the inspections will be a PITA.

I put in radiant heating in the shop floor and AC.  Best decision of all.

So... I have a question for discussion...

WHY AN LJ OVER A JK?

LJ's are Sooooo pricey (Jared found the deal of the century)
JK's are more comfortable, to me anyway.
JK's are cheaper to build to same tire clearance and wheelbase normally, but maybe not when you're going full width and 4 link and 42's?  Not sure.

But have you seen the JKL's?  http://jklwrangler.com/about/ (http://jklwrangler.com/about/)

But why?  If you like the LOOK, it seems like a JKU with the doors boxed in and a comp cut to handle the 42's or bigger is bad ass and the wheel base is appropriate for the tire size.  A V8 is needed.

For me it's just wanting something I don't have.

The slighlyt shorter wheel base would be nice and the 4.0 is better than my 3.8.

Other than that, just fun to look for them.

I don't really plan on selling mine because no one would pay me what I would want.

Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: jc79 on September 28, 2015, 09:46:25 AM
As for my reasoning for LJ.

Realized I liked the aftermarket armor/etc for TJ/LJ more than the JK. More classic lines, etc.  Also I really think the JKU needs 42's to make the proportions look just right.  Didn't want to go there. LJ on 40's looks right to me. This is personal preference of course!

I realized how much money I'd have into the JK if I went tons, and wanted to start with a lower price donor vehicle. TJ wouldn't work but LJ has just enough room.

I didn't want to be stuck with the 3.8 engine. I hated it and never enjoyed driving it. LS swap would just add to the amount I had in the rig. The i6 has been awesome.

Candidly I liked the idea of having a rig that you don't see everyday.

Unless you need the extra room inside i like the tj. Lj/tj is cheaper and going to a v8 if you want is a lot easier. Depending on the engine, you can still use the stock guages with very little extra cost.

 //iws//
Here's my reasoning for a LJ/TJ

The entire thing is wired Can bus so you cant do any home diagnosis. If you don't know what this is give it a quick google search. In short it is not wired in a traditional way where wires carry 12v signal to turn on and off features. Instead a single wire can carry multiple signals making any diagnosis or modifications impossible or expensive (hence the LS swap harness alone) Let me give you one more example.

When I purchased my previous JK it had several issues...
-the lower Locker/Esp panel was not working
-dome lights would not work
-fog lights would not work
-info center on gauges was not working
-HVAC back lighting was not working

After countless hours of searching I gave up and took it to the dealer. They searched for about 2 hours and hooked it to their diagnosis equipment and couldn't find any problem. They called me and said the speedometer wasn't getting power to part of it and it is actually what controls all those other features. They said they would run a new power wire to the spedo and it should work. I said go ahead and while the guy was searching for how to run the wire he found a wire that was cut in half in the passenger front wheel-well. He soldered the connection and all was fixed! 

Maybe that left a bad taste in my mouth for them all but I wont own another unless its under warranty, and if its under factory warranty its probably to nice to chop up, swap axles, and wheel. at least for my pockets! I have owned a YJ, TJ, JKUR, and an LJ and this LJ is here to STAY!!! I absolutely love it and it will never go anywhere.

Jk CANBUS is crappy for sure, it can be a real downer. Everything aftermarket on mine goes around the CANBUS.

And it's exactly why an LS write harness costs thousands

chopped pork, sliced brisket, Mac and cheese, and deviled potato salad.

Pork was good, brisket was good, Mac and cheese was the fourth best in town (behind J Alexander's, Capital Grill, and a place near my house that makes it more as a casserole...like mom used to make), and the potato salad was too sweet (surprising, even to me).  The pickles were solid and the sour dough bread was pretty dang good.  Sauces were lackluster, service was great.

Kell had creamy coleslaw, Brunswick stew, collards, and Mac and cheese.  Coleslaw was not creamy.  The first time I've had collards...boring, but that could be all of them...Kell said they weren't bad, but not great either.  I didn't try the stew.

No dessert...what did I miss?

Like I said, not bad but not special.  I'd go to Smoke Jack or Dreamland (they're in that area) before I went back.  It was definitely better than Sonny's, Dickey's, and Shane's.  Not even close to the pork from Fox Brother's...better than shredded brisket from Fox Brother's.

Swallow in the hollow is really good BBQ.  That and Williamson Bros are probably two of my local favorites though Pignchik, Fox bros, and Fat Matts all have their good items.
Swallow in the Hollow is awesome. Be there early or take out. Always packed.

Great spot 

Let me know when you want to come out. Close to me and Jay. We'll meet you there and Jay will pick up the tab.

I've saw Tony Arata there many years ago. He wrote The Dance that Garth Brooks recorded and made so popular. Very cool

That does suck.  Are they supposed to get any more rain or is it done?  I do always wonder how people get stranded in their cars.  Is it that the water comes up on them or are they trying to drive through it and it's deeper than they realized?  Or a little of both?

Heirloom is damn good.  One of the best around in my opinion.  Most others are just "good" and I can make the same or better in my backyard.  I don't go to many BBQ restaurants anymore for that reason.

its been good since i cutt that wire and put a toggle switch in, however it did it again tue afternoon, not sure what / why.  did the cold make it bind up? not sure, seems to feel squirly when i jump on it with the gass and drive aggressive, (pulling out from parking deck with oncoming traffic) but, this time it felt slightly different, not the breaks, so disabling the tc and abs seems to have stopped the breaks from attempting to apply, but tue was a totaly diff. feeling, dont know if its something in the steering box or what.   

once i have some time, will have to just take it to Danny and let them keep it for a week and see if they can ..  debug it.  i dont have the skill/time to mess with it at this point, but.   so far its allowing me to steer and not lock up.   

will keep seeing if i can make it happen again in the afternoon coming out of my office, maybe i can figure out whats up with it..

We also have the Tahoe Z71 (new drivetrain), van, and Jeep.

It's all about the deal... condition and price.  No rush.   Cash in hand, and wait for the right deal.
My range is wide depending on mileage and condition.  I prefer 2008-2010 for no def, but not most important. 2011-2015 OK.  Not going to spend $50k. //LMAO//
Needs to have:
- climate control and not manual ac/heat
- club/full 4 door short bed
- power drivers seat
- no lift
Prefer 4x4, White, leather, remote start

Do it.  Call Kirby Keith @ Ed Voyles and tell him I told you he would get you the best deal. Bought both the Jeep and truck from him. Had to work on him for the Jeep. On the truck, he went 13k off before we even started negotiating as he knew I wasn't going to bs around. I grew up in a Chevy family and have had zero regrets with my 15 Cummings.  Love it.

Not picking on you Cummins folks, but I hear that there have been some issues with the new ones that dodge can't get parts for at greater than a month becuase there are so many.

It may be an easy math thing, but I would start reading and see what's up. I know everyone has been fine, but you could always be the unlucky one. That goes for any brand. I didn't want to pay as much for a truck when I bought mine, but after reading I wouldn't get anything less than an 08 becuase the 6.0 had too many issues without spending a pile of money.

I would rather have deleted truck. No emissions crap is good for a diesel. That's one of the reason the 7.3 was so good, no emissions junk to fool.

When I was shopping, a day after the new GMC hit the lots (not literally, but close), they wanted $4k more for the GMC than the RAM.  It was a '14 RAM vs a '15 GMC.  Don't be scared to look for a new GMC if you are going to buy a new RAM.  I would have paid $2k more for the GMC, but they were hung up on the $4k.  Now that the stink has worn off the GMC, I bet you can get them much closer together, thus getting exactly what you want.  The DEF tank on the GMC is stupidly placed, but otherwise it is a great vehicle and it was the best riding and best off the line truck I drove.  The rear seats passengers did not get hvac (my 07 tundra had rear air vents...WTF GMC) and do get the joy of the front seat ventilation blowing hot (maybe stinky) air in their face...sucks to ride bitch in a GMC!

Good luck.

Sorta like the 6.4.  Most say avoid them, many had issues, and you love yours.

I'll look for that info... There are a few new ones around here and I haven't heard anything bad. 

If you see a story please share the link.  I'll Google.

I've heard avoid the 11 Ford and Dmax but that's all on the recent year models.

The 6.4 only has the bad designed coolant hose and then sometime the radiator. I have seen the hose. The 6.4 still has the most retarded power once tuned.

The 6.7 are solid. Even ford mech are saying. The 15, 6.7 got a bigger turbo and is becoming a league of its on. 11, 6.7 I think had a few things but following years are great. I'm a Ford fan but ford's diesel, the insides, and trans are something to consider.

There's a steering weld recall they've had delays in addressing but that's on 13-14s.  Not aware of anything else that's really of major concern.  At least haven't seen anything on the cummins forums.  Now a days recalls happen on any brand.

I was really specific on what options I wanted. Mines an SLT with the following major options:

Luxury group is $840 and includes heated seats, heated steering wheel, and power fold tow mirrors.

Big Horn package $1435 includes the front bucket seats, remote start and steering wheel controls (and some other stuff).

No leather, no vented/cooled seats and no leather dash. But for me if was the perfect setup and was ~$4500 less than a Laramie.

Your statement was that you would have to move way up or down, and up wasn't happening.  So that meant you were moving way down, which I translated to being non-decent.  5 years old, out of warranty, worn out seats, stuff not working, etc...someone else's junk.

Clarke, looking only at new 15s, and meant I was having to look at less due to availability.

Might have to look at 16s but no long horns anywhere yet

Cannot go without dual climate control? I have it one car and I bought it used. Maybe I'm missing out, but when you close the vent on the other side, looks like dual climate control to me.

Long Horn is only offered in Texas I think. Big Horn is the same for the rest of the markets.

Meant Big Horn.  Its LoneStar in Texas.

Not saying I need dual climate control.  Just climate control that maintains temp.

Can get a 2wd club cummins for 38.

Can get a mega cab 4wd SLT cloth cummins for 51 with the big radio, climate control, buckets, and much more.

Ok...I get it now...it's late in the season for a '15. 

I'd definitely give up leather to get 4wd...but they still make new trucks, so no compromises...it's just money (back to the family working comment... j/k-ish).

For what its worth, Doug... i bought mine on November 30 or something.  The original deal was for a 2014.  they couldn't find a truck for me, so they found a 2015 and gave me the same amount off of MSRP.  So if you wait for the 16's to ship they might do the same for you.

could you still buy a factory extended warranty on the Duramax?  Of all the times where it could make sense, its on a vehicle like this.  Could be a good compromise... and it would likely protect the luxury electronic items, too whereas the Ram 100k mile warranty is only powertrain.

Not sure how long you're planning on keeping this truck but if it's long enough to buy an extended warranty and 100k... I know it's different strokes for different folks but man I'd buy the new truck and start things clean.  I'd also find $5k and upgrade to the SLT with the big touch screen, climate control, heated seats, and remote start. What's that like $50-60/mo? With these cold mornings coming, your butt will thank you.
And don't forget the heated steering wheel. I would agree if it's a long term play, what's another $5k?  That's one night out in Vegas at Crazy Horse III.

40k on a 2015, do it's out of the bumper to bumper warranty.  Only internal lubricated parts are covered to 100k.

So I get a message from a lawyer this afternoon after I leave the office after a crazy day......



Says he calling about a judgement....  //WTF//



 //rtft//




So I'm thinking I got problems I don't even know about..........

And he says about a lien on a storage property.

Now that's some good news right there   //monk// //wav//

When my trailer was stolen in 2010 from the storage facility that had a broken gate for months... I sued him and won a $2305 judgement, and he would not pay, so I filed on the property assuming one day he would die and they would have to settle...  I was PISSED. 

It was WIDE between the fender wells and hauled my Rock Jock JK on 40's.  I put 2 new brake axles under it and had replaced the tires and welded on the hold downs and had a spare and had it PERFECT, and literally finished the axles and parked it and never saw it again.


Not sure if he passed or what, but I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they are going to try to settle for less.  I need to check into what leverage I have as he can probably bond it off and tell me to pound sand, and I'll have to win again somehow to get it, but with attorneys at $475 an hour there may not be a lot of dog in that fight, and we have $2300 holding up $1mm at least.

So I left him a message and expect a call in the morning....

before I depart from PDK for Biloxi.

Sorry @clark123456 more of that cousin shitxxxzzot
Title: Morning Coffee
Post by: tcdawg on October 29, 2015, 08:48:11 PM
They may be trying to sell the property and the lien needs to be cleared.

If that is the case, do not accept anything less than your lien amount....other than what you are willing to take of course.

$2300 won't get you a new one that's for sure

Rough start today!  Up late preparing for our trip and finishng Chili for the Chili Cook Off at work.  Regining champ lol.

So I'm up, pack, out to the drive and the van is dead, nothing, battery is fine.  Then I hear relays clicking like crazy, a light on the dash comes on, it cranks, no lights in or out.  it's dark.  Turn it off, now nothing, completly nothing.  It all stems from the drain issue and the tech wired everything to the switch so that when you turn it off, everything loses power and is dead.  Now maybe it's the switch...or that module is failing I guess and it's big money,

So I'm trying to just get to the ofice, so I hit the relays harder, harder, and catch my thumb nail and rip it off..... oops. HAnd goes numb, then yeow.  Dang.

Called AAA and its on the way back to the tech that fixed or changed it I will say.  It's been dependable transporattion for 15 of 16 years, and still in great shape... I keep saying this is the last time.  Drives great and perfect for my high mile running around, airport, etc.  Still cheaper than a new car, but approaching terminal velocity.  Worth nothing probably.

Worst thing is I can't operate my phone with my thumb.  So if it is lifted high in the front all the way back into the roots and torn loose on one side, i should have just ripped the other side out, right?  Wife wouldn't let me.

Damn! Glad it wasn't worse.  I lost it in my 70 SS396 and went through a fence and stopped just short of a telephone pole in 1979.  We were lucky.

I kept asking him to buy a 70 Chevelle and now he has 3 70 SS's.  One stock, one built and one 502 ground pounder.  Brakes upgraded on all now. 

He recently bought a Hennessy Viper that is wicked but he passed on the real 70 Olds W30 convertible that I think was the buy of the show.

I do hope you can get out of there safely.  I have a few co-workers who own aircraft and I recall them getting from a-to-b faster than me (Destin Florida fishing trip), but I also recall them having to stay over a couple of extra days waiting for the weather to improve enough to get back home.  I also recall the pilot not being able to drink for 24 hours before the flight.

Yep, weather can make it a much longer trip than commercial.  Our captain is an ex-USAir captain and he isn't afraid to make a low ceiling insturment approach so we went, but many pilots would have stayed grounded yesterday for safety. 

But it is awesome to land and drive into the hanger out of the rain where your car is runing and the back is open, you step out and into the car and they put the bags in the back, and you drive off,
In severe contrast to my 5.5 hour flight today to San Diego in coach and dealing with the TSA.

Got home from Vegas, ran a few errands, meet Linda for lunch, and got home and started relaxing.  Megan comes to me after dark and says her boyfriend has gone onto a power line and stuck his 4x4 Chev. He has a one owner low mile white club cab lifted beautiful truck.  I'm shocked but not so much.  He's a great kid out having some fun.

Megan already knows how I feel about power lines, and he does too, but 3 others have tried to get him out with no success.  He's been stuck since 330.  Its 6. So I grabbed the recovery gear and headed over.  Buried and on the frame.  No luck pulling, no trees close, and to pull him backwards back into the road out of the mud bog, I'm on an angle and a steep incline. 

The winch is dragging me down, so I let out some slack, backed up the hill as far as possible, and started digging 4 huge holes about a foot deep.  Now brakes on and winch moves him. 

Took a lot of winch to get him to the edge and then up the embankment before he could move under his on power.

Battery light came on! Went off at home after turning jeep off and on.  Is it OK?

Just having fun on a Friday night.

It won't be the Leaf next year

Georgia had a $5k tax credit for purchased or leased Leaf's(leaves?) but the General Assembly cut that out this year plus, they added a $250/year tax on electric cars, added to your annual tax bill.

They went from one extreme to the other

a diesel at the right price for people who don't need to pull a double trailer to Moab.  If the price is truly less, but with adequate power (no eco diesel) then I'd consider that truck.  Nissan makes good vehicles...add in a Cummins and Aisin...it could be a winner.

I have a long list for danny and the boys once all the smoke clears.  so all i can do now is dream about July-Dec of 2016 and hopefully the fun i will be having.

I picked up a new trailer today...but it is only a utility trailer (5x8).  It was mine a couple of years ago, but when I bought the big trailer I sold it to a co-worker...and regretted it almost immediately, so I pestered him until he sold it back to me. 

I think I paid more than I sold it to him for, but he thinks I paid less...oh well, it's worth more than I paid for it...and it's a great trailer.

really gotta watch with those 5 lug 7k lb trailers guys, the dang trailer alone 'dry' weighs 2500, that means you only have 4500lbs capacity, all those JKs are wayyyyy over that stock.. much less with 37s and armor, and tools and spares mounted on the trailer... just sayin something to think about

JK's are HD!  //rtft//

i did say 5 ton earlier, and they are 6 lug 5200# axles

My aluminum was 5 ton too...

my bad, you did say 5 ton, but the link goes to a 7k lb trailer..
I see, that one is a 5 ton but they screwed up the description.  It's right on their summary list.

That is not correct, not all of that weight is on the axles as part of the weight is on the tow vehicle. Not sure how it is calculated though.

We did when we weighed the 2 jks on the double.  The axles alone were 13,800 and we know there was a lot of weight on the truck.

Tag should only be a few hundred pounds so not like a goose that carries a substantial % of the weight. .

Drove the truck to lunch and never made it back to the office.   Bolt in the passenger rear tire, nail in the driver rear tire,  and after barely making it to the tire shop, need to have the front passenger tire slightly trued.  Talk about some luck this afternoon.

Only good/bad luck is it seems for the mix of towing I do,  I need to rotate a lot sooner.  Rear tires are at 25-30% tread after only ~14k mi(rotated at 6k and 11k).  Fronts are at 50-60%

bad luck...

and poor mileage on those tires.  Clark got poor mileage on his oem Ram tires too I think

Thursday after getting home from work I finally discovered what my bearing noise I had for awhile in the Ford. Sounded like a idler or tensioner pulley but I found the water pump leaking so mystery solved.

Not what I wanted to spend my Saturday doing, but at least I saved over $500 from having the dealer do it. Plus I went and looked at my receipt from when I had the dealer do the water pump last time.  2008 and 124,000 miles. Truck now has 178,000, not very good for a Motorcraft (OE) pump.  That is what I would expect out of a cheap parts store replacement.

Would have rather spent my day at the Toy Drive at AOP!

The pump was not too bad to change. I mentally prepared myself for it to be a PITA but it wasn't that bad once I got into it. Spent about 5hrs, working slow due to being during "quiet hours" at the house (I use to not be a fan of detached garages...now I am).  Once you get the coolant resi, fan and fan shroud out of the way there is a good amount of room to work. Only bad thing is if you don't have a top side creeper like me then you spend a lot of time standing/kneeling on the front.  I forgot to see about renting a fan removal tool but I was able to use vice grips wedged against the block and clamped to the lip of the pulley in order to allow me to back the fan threads off. So no other special tools other than a torque wrench of course were needed.

Being on the front it wasn't as bad, but when I had to do turbo work a few months back that sucked working at the back of the engine valley under the cowl.

Doesn't it have a lifetime warranty if ford did it?

After you posted this it got me thinking, so I went back to the paperwork to see- 12 month 12,000 mi warranty listed. As stated parts carry manufacturers warranty but not sure about what it is for the motorcraft pump.  The new pump has a lifetime on the part, so if I can remember that and find the receipt I hope I can get a replacement in 5 or so years when I probably have to do it again.

So why pull it all off since the tune "deleted" it? Didn't trust it? Do you have a 6.4 or a 6.7?

Good to know Scott. My OBS isn't quite and compact are the SD's since I don't have an inter cooler up front. Just a pain to constantly find something comfortable to stand on and work. It's borderline more uncomfortable than working on the Jeep.

EGR recirculates a portion of the exhaust back into the cylinders.  Plus side is that it provides some cooling and reduces pollution.  Minus side is that it slightly reduces efficiency as there is less O2 for combustion.

6.4

From reading it cuts it off for the most part but it's still better to pull it all. I have changed the exhaust to mbrp a while back with intake. I have head studs for it, but that's for different days and a lot of time. It had 2 coolers leading into the intake. Should have seen the crap it was putting back into the engine. Almost like oil sludge.

No, I did from the down pipe down. Easy pretty much.

There are wite ups for the 6.4 on doing head studs with the cab on. While easier to pull the cab it can be done cab on. After reading that it is better to pull the heads, new head gaskets, and maybe a resurface I decided not to do them now. I was going for the remove one bolt replace one bolt deal.

It's only a 4 hour flight to San Jose, but then a hell of a mountain goat ride through the mountains.  Most of the country leaves much to be desired.  We are in Los Suenos.  Today is recovery day.  Cruised the neighborhood, beach, marina, shopped. Jennifer Anniston has a house here.  Sport fishing tomorrow on a 55'.  ATVs/Razors on the mountains Tuesday.

Not being a fan of all-inclusive resorts or beaches, I'd recommend Nicaragua over CR if your interests tend towards historical sites.  Both Leon and Granada are Spanish colonial cities.  Prices will be lower too.  I did spend a week in San Jose for some surgery some years back; it was much cheaper than if I'd stayed home and had to pay 120% of my deductible.

I spent a couple of weeks last month in Ecuador, and it too has a lot to offer.

Day of a life time for the girls. 

Porpoises, whales, a huge mantaray, 12 sails, and a 150# Tuna that whipped us all. 

And man can this huge boat get it.  3000 hp+'

Does she want teenagers? We can help!

I'm thinking fuel is so low you have to go and sleep in the garage.


I think a week with teenagers would make Katie question having another kid for sure.

Fuel prices make it a perfect time for a long distance trip like Moab.

Anyone know how to pitch  "I'm going to take a vacation for a week plus while you stay here pregnant and take care of a toddler."

That's a hell of a pitch, but if you slightly modify it to, "Look honey, I told you when we got together that I'm the boss and I do what I want to do - when I want to do it.   I'll be gone for a week plus, maybe longer.  Call your mom to come comfort you while I'm away.  I'll get both of you a T shirt.", you'll be just fine.

The key is to remind her of prior agreements, and continually deliver on those agreements.

Didn't fish today.  Went out early yesterday and stayed late, came back in at dark.  Over 30 bites.  Smoked/blistered my thumb feeding on a big hit if anyone knows what that means, but I hooked and landed my own fish all day. Totally different. We had a few doubles and should have had at least 3 and a triple.  No tuna. Our buddies got a marlin.

Today was recovery day lol.  Breakfast at marina, set the house up, football.  Watching the birds dive on the fish and feed on the beach for hours was cool.

Great news.  We were planning to come home tomorrow, but it's just to awesome here and we are all having a blast so we changed our return to stay a few more days.  New Year's Eve party and dinner at the house tonight and we don't have to get up early tomorrow now.  Fireworks on the beach and we'll have a great seat from the patio.

Watching a bowl game on the way in was cool.

Doug, that's freaking awesome!  Trip of a lifetime for those kids, but hopefully they get a few more with your cousin and you.

I know what you mean regarding the thumb.  When I was a kid I did a good bit of deep sea fishing and had this leather pad with a mesh top that fit over the thumb...saved me some thumb damage for sure.

Stay safe and write home before you split.

Hate that too John, especially if it's not due to their performance or actions.

I don't mind parting with someone I've given 3 chances to and they knew it was coming.

Right before the holiday layoffs happened almost every year at one of the companies where I have worked. 

I'm torn on the good vs bad of pre-holiday layoffs; on one hand, it let's the person curtail their holiday spending; on the other hand, it is a real downer at a time of year when you see a lot of people who ask you, "how is work going?"

I have no problems cutting people loose that need to go.  I terminated a guy at the end of October after he was written up 3 times - after he had gotten off a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) earlier in the year.  The 3 times this guy was written he failed to perform according to strict procedures.  I had to let him go before he did something so stupid that I could get fired over because in the end, I'm held accountable.

When I put him on the PIP early last year, he said he would do better and appreciated the opportunity to improve.  He also said "my wife and 4 kids appreciate it too".  I told him straight up that his wife and kids aren't my problem, they are his problem and if he does his job like everyone else, there should be no worries.  The look on his face told me he didn't get it.

My experience back "in the day" at various software companies was that 5% turnover yearly for non-performance was pretty normal.  A lot of that was due to the fact that at the time good software developers were scarce and there were a lot of openings, so hiring criteria were not as strict as perhaps they are today.

It's amazing to me that some folks just don't get it.

I had to let 40 guys go when I was contracting in asscrapistan due to the down sizing. I had 10 guy that it was no problem but I had to go through the 125 personnel I had on my work force and decide which ones I wanted to keep. It can be a tough thing to do if you let yourself become too familiar with personal you are responsible for. It is a very delicate balance a manager has to maintain. I had always preached to the guys there that we are all one big family and I did the very best to protect and promote to the best of my ability. Out of the 40 guys I lost about 25 of them were promoted to different positions throughout the company.

In my new position now I am no longer under those kinds of pressures but I have a unique understanding on how my manager has to operate with the guys on our current team. I've watched some folks leave over the past 9 months because they couldn't move forward with the rest as we grow and improve how we conduct our business.

This is an interesting discussion.  My issue during the "optimization" I was recently part of was that this group had but their blood sweat and tears into building this large custom software architecture over years, under bad leadership, and they didn't have the savvy to understand how to look at their company financial results.  So when we purchased them, got to actually evaluating how they worked, and the value there, I was essentially the guy who said we need to scrap all this.  And the guys just didn't understand.  There were also H1B and green card guys their who had to scramble to stay in the US at all.  It was hard to see the individual engineers lose their work, which is why they worked.  They loved their code and designs and had become way too involved, and these were older guys, in their late 40's and 50's.  Their mistake, yes.  There is a first time for everything, and I've already learned the lesson about everyone can be let go, including myself, but it was my first time being THAT guy.  I won't feel so much next time.   Now of course I feel fine with how many of my own company guys I kept employed....  I'm learning alot.

thinking of it. Well careful what you wish for.......

The last 10 years of being over my department really
has been an eye opener. I never thought there would
be the level of stress and aggravation that goes with
the job. Employees don't see the kinda stuff that we
have to go through or deal with.

It's one hell of a wake up call when someone realizes just what the "boss" actually goes through. I didn't actively seek the position in asscrapistan. Let's just say those above me felt I was qualified to do the job and they said go do it. The more I succeeded at the mission the more responsibility they placed upon me. By the time I finished my 18th month there I was effectively running 3 separate shops and still managed over 75 personnel.

Last spring my current manager asked me to take on more of a leadership role here and I asked him to give me some time to be more proficient on the business aspect. The tech stuff is easy compared to what I still need to learn. This really puts me on the opposite end of the spectrum from the others in this line of work. Technically the position requires a college degree but 2 years ago the upper management waived that requirement in order to hire me. Over that period of time I have on multiple occasions demonstrated my worth to the company but I have also realized what my short comings are and where I need to improve. That is what really good managers are for and I am fortunate enough to have a great manager.

That's where my boss wants us to get to. He feels that 90% of what we do can be done as effectively from a home office as we can do from the corporate office. I happen to agree but we have to overcome the mentality that was put in place from the previous president who was replaced a year ago. Our current president is working with the new sales and service managers to implement the changes in our respective departments. We're still undergoing transitions due to turnovers with the personnel who resist the positive changes. Sometimes the status quo will bring the business down and retard growth.

I don't mind the travel and I am home 98% of the time for weekends. In March I'll be working a trade show in Nashville for a week. My plan is to bring my wife so she can do some shopping and other girl stuff Tuesday thru Thursday then on Friday we'll go to Bowling Green for the Corvette museum and on to the caverns for the weekend.

Was going to try and make the ride today, but sh*t happens. My wife and I were returning from visiting my son/family in Boulder CO new Years Eve, when at a rest stop in Illinois, we got the dogs out for a pee break. Brenda was untangling the dogs leashes, lost her balance, and fell on the sidewalk, breaking her upper femur at the underside of the ball at the hip joint. (two labs. one 93 lbs, one 83 lbs). So, I am taking a couple more weeks off to help her recover. It's a six week ordeal before she can walk by herself.  She is getting around using a walker, but can put no pressure on the affected limb. Praying for a complete recovery. It could have been worse, as the dr was able to align the break and put in three screws (pins) to hold it together. Much better than a broken hip bone and needing hip replacement. Hope everyone has a blast today.

Hurting this morning.  Spoke on a conference panel in the homeland of @jc79.  Downtown Louisville has more Bourbon than you can handle.  Surprisingly really good food,  some very cool art in a museum that was beside the restaurant and The Pappy was tasty but my wallet is lighter.  Should have come here when I was with Cisco more.  The upgrade to first class on my flight home was worth it. 

Not a Pappy fan, I think the way they keep the production and the demand high makes it more desirable that it really is good.  The few times I have had it I was waiting for the heavens to open up and rain down unicorns on me...didn't happen.  Good bourbon but there are many that are its equal in my opinion.

I was on 4th for a bit but ended up and down Main.  Proof, Doc Crows, and Manny & Merle are all recommended.  BBQ at Doc Crows was pretty good, not life changing, but good.  Manny & Merle had a green chili pork taco which was fantastic but the Bacon on a stick was just - odd. Proof on Main had a 30 day aged NY Strip that was very tasty and a drink called a Poison Arrow with China China in it.   It was also attached to the 21c museum which had some wicked exhibits like the Al Farrow deconstructed firearms and bullets exhibit -

Decided there is no time like the present to start on that list. Picked up a bottle of Four Roses and Widow Jane. I'll do a taste test this evening.

I bought a bottle of Widow Jane last Fall.  I didn't think it was very good.  Plus it's made in NY.  WTF do NYers know about making bourbon?  :)
I liked it but still like Basil Hayden better for my tastebuds.

Basil Hayden 10 times over Widow Jane.  I bought WJ over Blantons because of the guy's recommendation.

I brought a bottle of Black Ridge to Golden this weekend. I bought it on the recommendation from one of the guys at Total Wine. Reasonable price and very tasty. Close to Basil in flavor. Not sure if you tried it Mark.

Post by: clark123456 on May 02, 2016, 12:41:49 PM
Don, that sucks, for sure.  I have repaired a washing machine before...I'll never do that again! 

I used to get stressed about 'emergency' stuff around the house popping up (water heater, dish washer, kitchen remodel, roof, etc) at the worst possible financial time, but I had a Personal Finance professor (Gene Henssler, for those around here who know him) who told the class that a house has about a 3% average annual maintenance cost (percentage of house value, not my income, so much more % of income).  So, I started saving that amount every month about a decade ago.  Now I don't stress about such things.  I'm not trying to be a punk (I'm naturally that way); I'm trying to help you find ways of dealing with these inevitable situations with much less stress. I have never been able to find any reference to the 3%, or any percent, but it more than covers the smaller stuff.  What he didn't say was the level of detail of what that should cover.  For instance, should it cover trash service?, taxes?, drill press???  I don't use it that way...those are additional expenses, for now.

Truth...I dig into the house savings fund from time to time to use it for non-essential things, such as axles, tires, wheels, full hydro, etc. :)  I do write IOU chits so I can replace the money...hopefully before the next big thing happens to the house. 


That wise Henssler dude didn't know everything...he told the class the most disposable income we would have was at that time (I was 21-ish making $8/hour, living at home, but I had a car note and a lot of drinking/partying going on); I have much more disposable income now than then, as a percentage and of course as a dollar amount.

Post by: tjsahara00 on May 02, 2016, 12:53:59 PM

Wow. woke this am to see Cruz drops out, Trump's pretty much in.  and Kasich.. wtf, Dude really he should have left months ago..   I am interested to see how the Hildabeast handles the Donald.   Trump did have some nice parting words to Cruz.  he seemed to want to unite the party.   

this will be interesting, im 100% sure the libtards and Dem's will open a full onslaught of adds aganist Trump, but.  will it stick.. so far.  its not.   

one thing i like about Trump, he is willing to fight back. i hope he does not lose that ...     I am guessing his VP pick may need to be someone more party middle to help pull in the Cruz folks.. 

I am thinking this just got even more interesting.  would love to see him destroy hillary.  on stage.  she is no bill and that recent foopa with that coal miner. well that just showed she is so out of touch and just does not give a flying fawk about anyone but herself..  interesting..

I believe he does have integrity and a strong moral foundation. Business is business.  He will attempt to fix a lot of problems that have put us on a road to the european entitlement problems, and the deficit because I do believe he can bring people together and make deals. 

The country was set up for successful businessmen that best understand profit and budgets to serve and then return to business. Not to have career politicians that suck the life out of the middle class to support those who do nothing because they get a God complex once they get there and want to save the world and be loved.

The founders really missed it on term limits. They never saw the positions as paying enough that anyone would make a career out of it.

My fear is he will be more middle than Bush was.

Don, that sucks, for sure.  I have repaired a washing machine before...I'll never do that again! 

Just a positive update,  Took some google searching for tech manuals, some electrical know how, a good multimeter, and finding a good site for parts but two overnight shipments and about $300 later the washer seems to be back and working. On load #3 now.  New stator, hall sensor, and PCB.  Tried the stator and hall sensor first but also need a new PCB.  I will say newer front loads are much easier to work on than the older washer I tried to fix years ago.   Anyway,  some positivity :)

Ya...that's great news! 

Mine cost about $250 to repair and was a 'transmission',, which basically means the entire thing had to come apart.  A new one, for my style of cheap ass, top loading washing machine, was like $450.  I spent well over 3 hours effing around with the repair.  Now, if I had a $1K+ model, I might look for repair, especially if it is fairly new, since it will probably have to be done again.

Back from wedding, glad CFR went well. should make it nxt year. 

The cost of the wedding was over budget ... Surprise, Surprise...   all those final deposits someone forgot to tell me about..  between running to the bank for "Cash" and writing checks..   im tempted to not go to Ireland..  Mmmm  Nope..   thats already paid for..   //cheers2//

this Sat, im off for 2 weeks  //BEER//, to Pub heaven //cheers2//.   yea, some nice sites.. i guess.   but 2 castle stays, 4 walking pub tours, a whiskey tour..  this should be the outlet to help me forget giving my little girl to a horny young kid (trying to be a doctor) , ..   I went thru 2 flasks of Makers..  everyone said it was nice, i have to see pictures to make a lame attempt to pretend i was their. 

hopefully my Jeep will be out of the shop this week.. //rtft//  @PHANTOM  Axle? //popcorn//  I need some good news before i head out..  //SLAMIN//

Word to the wise for future dads.  Write one check at the outset and tell them no more afterwards.

Doing otherwise is strangely reminiscent of building a Jeep without the final goal in mind.

Very true Tony.  its like marrying 2 people.  if i had known i needed almost 2k cash for "balances and such" I would have gotten the cash from my bank and not the ATM's.  what a mess...     

Saying "NO More" and living thru it are 2 different things.  I would prefer to live to jeep another day than bear the wrath of a Bride or Wife.

Side note, I did Drink alot, which helped numb some of the pain.. not much..  but some..

Wish I had my jeep. Down for weeks I guess. Locker going back to Yukon in WA and then has to be set up again.  5 Days each way, a week there, a week to setup, so half the summer. Momma not happy. Missed all the beautiful weather and now missing summer.

My jeep will have been at Allsouth 17 weeks less 5 days for Jeep Beach and 12 days to Moab.

Yukon is not just going to send you one??? They're ok with their product causing you to be down for a month? WTF.  Never buying anything but gears from them.
I don't know any manufacturer that would just send you one. They need to see it and determine if it is a warranty issue. If it is they will rebuild it and ship it back and pay for the setup.

Sorry, you may give Yukon some benefit of the doubt but that's BS to me.  They should do everything expedite in their power to get you back on the road. What if this was your daily driver?(It would be if they ask) Send them pictures, video, whatever they need and then send them the part but they should overnight you a new one IF they have to have the part in hand first, not rebuild the one you have and send it slow ground.
I agree. I would say I need to drive. Send me an immediate replacement and then study the broken one all you want.

Jumping on the bandwagon with this one, but with a twist.  I'd see if I could front the cost, and then be reimbursed once they determine it's their part that caused the issue.  I do think they should advance rma the part.  If it's internally fixable, is a new gear setup needed?

Edit:  expedited shipping?

No way I'm putting more money in a yukon.  If they don't cover it, they won't get my $ for another one.

You guys can say all that, but companies have policies and normally stick to them.  Most companies are liable for the part only and nothing additional.  Yukon has a strong warranty.  They must see it to warranty it.  Most failures they deal with are user caused.  They repair, and don't replace unless it's not repairable.

They will provide an install kit and pay the labor for the install if it is warranty.

They require the customer to pay the frt to ship it to them for a few reasons, mostly so the customer gets it there in one piece.  If you ship it in cardboard and it falls out and is lost, it's on you.

I'm waiting on Kevin, pres/ceo to call me back.  I am trying to speed it up but can't ship it back until the original purchaser contacts the selling distributor and files the claim and gets the RGA.  Yep, its all up to Fusion4x4 getting things done now.  Allsouth still has to remove it.

When my ATF torque converter went out and I called them for warranty they said the same as Yukon...they wanted the part to review before they would make a warranty decision. I asked them to send me a new one while I send them the broken one and the only way they would do it was if I paid for the new one up front and they would reimburse if the broken TC was warrantied.

I didn't do that. Mainly because I wasn't happy w their product and didn't want to buy it a second time if they said NO to my warranty claim.

Formula Offroad:  two summers ago I attended a Formula Offroad meet in Iceland.  Climbs are on lava ash, so rolling down isn't as dramatic as on rocks.  Most of these rigs have nitrous injection and 700+ HP.  Tires have scoops in the tread.

Most ppl dont listen to it anyway, they look at the lights for the bathroom/seat belt.  keep head phones on.. its become mundane .   i think it was southwest that i was fumbling with my headphones and the stew's actually had a funny way of presenting the safety announcement it was very entertaining, but thats rare. 

just my guess.. as to why they dont invest in a better PA system.

Not going to speculate on that but will say I'm the guy with my headphones in trying to ignore the announcements

Same here, unless the stew is super hot.

I've given Delta negative feedback the last 2 times I've flown.  I complained about fat/obese flight attendants that asses are too big for the aisle and keep slamming into my shoulder when they pass.

When I had to go to a funeral in NY. I took pictures for Niagara Falls was from that. They mixed my bag up and flew it around the country a few days. Had no clothes. Now I did go on a little shopping spree but nothing bad. $1k suit. $200 dress shoes. Anyways, little over 2k. The only thing I had was what I was wearing. Called 2 days ago and they knew nothing of it. I had talked to them before. Suppose to be calling me back tomorrow.

Everything was documented. Before even leaving the airport in NY I had a claim open, paper work to file, my max spending limit (which I'm under), and everything. I told them I was there for a funneral. They told me to go get what I needed. My suitcase come home the next day after I got home. I stayed in communication with them the whole time. The day after my suit case came home I was leaving for a cruise. All receipts and paper work was mailed off before I left the country. I still have copies of my receipts in case they "loose" things. As the article outline it, that's what I did.

Yea, im on our DR board.  we had a building power out for some construction they are doing close by a while back.   we have a hot site and a full DR off site.  within about 5 min, most of IT was on notebooks on the hotsite.  only issue was about 1 min, outside firewall site rest... no lost work, brokers/underwriters were doing business as normal for like 3hr.,, and no one knew we had an outage.   we do a dr test 3 times a year and our auditors audit , we even have done consulting to other companys on how we handle it.   

its like, insurance..  no one wants it until they need it.   but it will happen .. one day..  can your company survive the aftermath..   if it fails.

Pretty sure its

-Premium (1st class & Diamond Medallion) (Doug)
-Sky (All other Medallion levels except Silver) (Me)
-Zone 1 (& Silver Medallion) (Super easy to get)
-Zone 2 (Tripp)

Is there a Zone 3?  I didn't think there were any others.  For bags you want to be in Zone 1 or higher.  Silver gives you automatic Zone 1 and is super easy to get. If not in Sky, just line up to be first in Zone 1 and there is no problem at all.

I will say the CF is the foreign folks who don't pay any attention to what zone is called and try to walk in whenever they feel like it.


Now Southwest is the boondoggle.  I pay for early bird and get B1.  That's bullshit.
The CF is all of those less than Premium zone 'people' lining up and blocking the gate entrance.

I don't know a whole lot except their 'mirror servers' or Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery Plans were f'd.  You would think a company their size would have redundant geographically dispersed hot active-active data centers but guess not.  Not sure what all was ruined by the fire(and possible resultant suppression systems) versus what they are fixing so it doesn't happen again but all my professional services contract networking resources were called in to help with Delta.

Their CIO started in February.  Hopefully he looked did a Risk Analysis or reviewed their existing Risk Plan (most companies that size have them).  They had to know their exposure and with any luck, the CIO made his bosses aware and the cost to remediate it. 

I heard the problem was bringing up ~400 applications and getting systems talking to each other again.  They'd never tested taking them all offline at once.

More about Deltas crisis.
I am appalled at the CEOs comments. Not worthy.

Cloud backup could have prevented Delta’s meltdown

Traditional disaster recovery can be too expensive to implement, but cheaper cloud options render that risk unacceptable

I hope you weren’t flying Delta this week. If you were, you know that Delta’s systems experienced an outage, and of course passengers bore the brunt of it in hundreds of canceled and delayed flights.

When Delta performs a postmortem on this outage, it will likely find that the outage was caused by a common occurrence: network failure. However, Delta could not recover or switch to backup systems. As my InfoWorld colleague Andrew C. Oliver wrote, Delta neglected the four pillars of high availability.

Delta’s CEO admitted as much, telling the Wall Street Journal that “it’s not clear the priorities in our investment have been in the right place. It has caused us to ask a lot of questions which candidly we don’t have a lot of answers for.”

Although cloud computing is not always the answer, the absence of effective business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) is normally due to a lack of funds. Traditional backup sites cost many millions of dollars to establish and many more to operate as a hot standby.

That’s why the use of IaaS clouds as redundant analogs to primary systems is becoming a common practice. More and more, organizations are placing copies of their processing and data in the cloud, which run constantly paired with their primary systems. When the primary goes down, the secondary (cloud) system takes over automatically. That is, they fail over to the cloud.

Unlike traditional BC/DR approaches, public cloud services don’t require hardware and software, they don’t require many operators, and they have their own BC/DR mechanisms in place. They’re not that hard to set up either; I could show Delta how to do it in an afternoon.

I suspect that, at Delta, the lack of effective BC/DR was a money issue, and the company considered it an acceptable risk. But with cloud resources now available for a fraction of the price of traditional backup systems, it’s no longer a risk you can take.

If you all plan to ride Marta...going down will be no problem.

Coming back after the game will be a total cluster.  Everyone walking to the same station and all going North.  My suggestion would be to find a place to hang  a little while after the game and let the crowds deplete a little.

It will give you back the power you lost from the big tires. Probably make it drive like it had 32's

But I would look for a SC that offers more low end power.

Last Saturday, coming back to Kennesaw from downtown, Kell and I saw these motorcycle guys doing stunts on i-75N.  A group of 5 came flying through (racing?), then two more came up and proceeded to do wheelies in one of the lanes...for a long time.  It was cool to see, but man, these idiots put themselves at tremendous risk, plus they risked the rest of the vehicles.  I think I've seen this before (in person), but I can't remember for sure.  I didn't see a camera crew our chase car.  Crazy stuff...but it wasn't YouTube worthy since they didn't wreck.  They were behind me, so I didn't get a video.  Have y'all seen this on the freeway?

Those people that stunt on highways are f*cking idiots.  Anyone seeing that should call the cops.  I wish bad shit on them when I see it and those stupid videos on the Internet.  Love seeing them go splat.

I've been a motorcyclist my entire life and it pisses me off to see some jackass put other people's safety at risk.
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: patman on September 07, 2016, 08:31:58 AM
I've seen a couple different groups when I was in atlanta doing wheelies. Doesn't really bother me if the highway is relatively empty. What pisses me off (and I call the police) are when idiots are splitting lanes and doing 120. I remember getting on 285 west coming from 400 (sandy springs) one day during rush hour when everyone is going 25-30, and these morons are going 70+ in the on-ramp shoulder and start weaving through the 285 traffic.

I had a teacher once whose boyfriend at the time was a cop. We heard a story of a guy running from the police and he lost control, ended up offroad and going under a sign that was supported my two metal poles. His legs didn't fit between the two poles...

I see them riding down I-20 the scariest thing for me to see is when they are off the side of their bike like they are barefoot water skiing. I have seen this twice, once with a crew in a convertible filming them doing wheelies in traffic and some kind of superman thing where they lay down on the bike etc. I will always slow way down and let them go. i don't want to be around if one of them eats it. I have seen how bikes wreck and its never pretty even for the pros. We have a worse problem currently on the East Side of Atlanta with dirt bikes and atv's taking over Moreland Ave. Usually on Sunday afternoons. Its one thing to have crazy street bikes at least they are going the same way. The dirt bikers are every where both sides of the street and yards and sidewalks. I have come to a complete stop while some kid, with out a helmet, rides a wheelie straight at me. The cops in Atlanta have a no chase policy so these kids run the streets and are unafraid.

I got out of the shower last night & caught my wife cruising Craigslist...........
for a double car hauler.
We don't currently have a tow rig but her philosophy is someone who wants their rig on the trailer the can haul both. My guess is that it would HAVE to be a diesel due to all of the weight.
In the (hopefully) near future we want a motor home to pull the Jeep & her car with. It's almost impossible to find a class c with a diesel. Really don't want a class a but I better start looking at them.

That was an enterprIsing move I was considering at one point...basically I'd pull someone's junk to the park, with mine, and they would pay for the fuel.  I never pulled the trigger on it.

Class C diesels are definitely out there, but I don't know their towing capacities.

I considered trying to do something similar with the trailer thing, but didn't want to be dependent on others for trips.

Class C's even with a diesel wouldn't be rated for a double trailer load.

I did a no no with my knee. Hobbling along and landed a lot of weight on it from being in a hurry. The whole inside of my knee still just hurts. Pain won't go away and this was at 11pm last night. Damn an ACL.

I need to check the brakes on my car, so I'm hoping my current jack can get under it...otherwise I'll likely be there buying one like you mentioned since it'll only get used once every year or two.

I don't consider it a smart move to go into a store known to sell defective tools and buy a piece of safety equipment.  It breaks and you're dead. To me, doesn't matter if it's a diamond in the rough of broken tools. I'd rather spend a little more.

I agree with your assessment, but I think it's misplaced.  You can use a crap tool to put the vehicle in a position that is secured by a quality tool.  I wouldn't trust any jack to hold up a vehicle under which I plan to put my body, so I always use a quality jack stand (how do you really know if it's quality?) if I'm getting under the vehicle.

True, Jack lets go even with jack stands I might soil my pants.
Uh..I actually put the Jack stands under it, then release the Jack so the weight is on the stands, then I lock in the Jack as an extra measure in case the stands let go...most of the time.

His religious convictions prevented him from fighting and he was in a conscientious objector status (he enlisted).  It really is an incredible story and a serious lesson about courage.  He was shunned and ridiculed by many because of his conscientious objector status and the assumption was that we was a coward and didn't have the fortitude to fight.  I'm looking forward to seeing the movie...

I respectfully disagree. They always carried arms for self defense. There are many stories that cite this. It was also something highlighted at the WWII museum I recently visited in New Orleans. The Geneva convention specifically called out firing on a medic (with proper designation) as a war crime.

I did some more research.  It seems that the Germans respected the convention and didn't shoot at medics, so they generally went unarmed.  Japanese didn't respect the treaty and targeted medics, hence many in the Pacific were armed.  Apparently it was a personal choice/

So I'm thinking about a turkey on the egg.  I've read a few pages of recipes but before I go down that road, is the fried turkey a better way to go?

Brine it, find a rub you like, and spatchcock it. I've done this twice now and it comes out great. Only downside is that you can't fit one of the massive steroids birds.

I only have a medium egg at home, smaller turkey, 10#

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I did it once on my medium bge and it ended up a little over done and burned tasting.  Could have totally been me but I think it was also that the bird was too big for the egg and it parts that hung over the platesetter got a little over cooked by the flame.
A concern we plan to address

I spatchcock chickens a lot and do them as a direct cook. Same with the turkey. All the meat you eat ends up facing up (away from the flame) so that's never been an issue for me.

That's exactly what I'm thinking except direct cook? Want thinking that at all.

And it doubles the surface area I need... Medium isn't very big.  Might cook half early... Taste it, cook the other half.

My point is does it matter if you don't comply and you make threatening moves?  There is a fine line there for a judgement call there for leos for me. They shouldn't have to allow it to escalate if reasonable to assume there is an imminent threat to their life and subject does not comply.
They should have to wait to be shot at.  I know, crazy talk.

There is a video online I can't find right now that times the response when someone reaches for a gun to shooting.  Basically, if a cop waits for your hand to pull that gun, it's too late and at least one round is going toward the cop.  You can't ask them to risk their life, their family's well being, if someone is not complying with their commands and reaching for something potentially a gun.  Comply even if you don't know or believe what is going on is right, survive the situation, and handle it after.
I agree with this, and I comply to the orders...but can you imagine how many drunks would be dead if the cops decided to just pull out the gun every time an order wasn't followed? 

I mentioned the whole "comply and nothing bad will happen" thing to a co-worker who grew up in the hood...he said he (and everyone in the hood) used to run from the cops because he knew if he stood still, they'd get him on some charge.

Murray said that speculation in the community that Scott was unarmed – initial reports from a family member on Facebook said he was holding a book – were untrue.  “A reading book was not found in the front or back seats of Mr. Scott’s SUV,” Murray said.  People who claimed on social media that they had seen the shooting and Scott was unarmed later recanted – three people who’d made the claim told State Bureau of Investigation agents in interviews that they hadn’t actually seen the shooting, Murray said.

Those false tesifiers should get a year in jail,

And the media ran with that BS, and not what the officers were saying, because they don't say... they cannot speculate. They must wait for the facts.  Why can't the media?

You can't over react if you have the facts.

The real problem is that there have been sufficient bad, real experiences with cops that makes society not trust them in normal interactions. 

I don't trust cops.  There is also the fact I'm usually breaking at least one law at all times, so maybe the laws should be changed!

His families atty just said he had a gun but there is no proof it was in his hand....


Quote
On Wednesday, Mecklenburg District Attorney Andrew Murray laid out in extensive detail the evidence gathered in the case.

“I’m extremely convinced that Mr. Vinson’s use of deadly force was lawful,” Murray said.

Evidence in the case shows that Scott stepped out of his SUV with a gun in his hand, Murray said, and ignored at least 10 commands from the five officers on the scene to drop it.

Murray said that Scott bought the gun – a Colt .380 semi-automatic that had been stolen in Gaston County – 18 days before the confrontation for $100. One bullet was found in the chamber of the cocked gun, the safety was off and Murray said Scott’s DNA was found on the grip and slide.

The person who sold the gun to Scott admitted to doing so when confronted by state and federal law enforcement, according to a prosecutor’s report on the shooting. “The seller said that Scott asked him to find him a weapon because he was having problems with his wife and her family, specifically his nephew,” the report said.

Murray said that speculation in the community that Scott was unarmed – initial reports from a family member on Facebook said he was holding a book – were untrue.

“A reading book was not found in the front or back seats of Mr. Scott’s SUV,” Murray said.

People who claimed on social media that they had seen the shooting and Scott was unarmed later recanted – three people who’d made the claim told State Bureau of Investigation agents in interviews that they hadn’t actually seen the shooting, Murray said.

Murray said he ran the evidence in the case past 15 veteran prosecutors in his office and they were unanimous in their recommendation that there was insufficient evidence to charge Vinson in the case. Two of those prosecutors were African-American and one was Latino, Murray said.

Local NAACP President Corine Mack, who attended a meeting of clergy and community leaders at Little Rock AME Zion Church before the protest, said she was disappointed but not surprised at Murray’s decision.

She called for more police accountability and transparency, and for an independent federal investigation into the Scott killing and law enforcement’s response to it.

“I am still very deeply disturbed,” Mack said. She said the episode brought to light problems such as lack of economic opportunity and social mobility for minorities.

“This goes beyond killing people,” Mack said. “The system was never made for black people.”

She's right, the system wasn't made for black people, it was made for ALL people.  I am sick and tired of all this bullshit about what color skin someone has.  I have been excluded unfairly because I am a Caucasian male.  I didn't get into certain colleges, I didn't get consideration in certain jobs.  I have been told that to my face.  I have been told that I was not allowed to hire a Caucasian male and to not include any in the interviews if possible.(I reported this to HR of that company and nothing was done to my knowledge).  We're all on this fawked up world together and I don't care what color you are.  fawk you if skin color matters to you.
Going to the hiring point you made: my dad told me growing up. He works at Miller Brewing. At the time black female was the most sought after. Your racist if you hire only white people and really so if you hire a male.

Just enjoyed a discussion with a LEO regarding my vehicle speed vs legal maximum speed on a specific road (47 in a 40).  I was honest, he was cool, and I got a warning!  Plus...I didn't get shot!

I'm going to Cherokee to gamble this afternoon (and tomorrow)...I hope I didn't blow all of my good fortune on avoiding a speeding ticket!

Seems like it would be easy to bend a shaft seeing as the shaft is now 2 ft long and has to see both dampening and spring load forces.

Congratulations a good luck to her.  She will probably have to move out of the state to find a job like that.  I'm sure there are a lot of places as every major city has an amphitheater.  The problem is she'll have to start pretty low on the rung.  As long as she isn't expecting to make 6 figures anytime soon and wants to enjoy her work, it should work out.  She should also look at concert promoters but I'm sure she knows all of that.  Has she researched people in the industry that have the job she wants and found out what their backgrounds are?

Not so good a trip to airport for Megan and I for her trip home today. I was just riding to the port with her and coming back.

We were hit from behind by a tanker fuel truck white sitting at a dead stop. W were behind a big box truck.  Our driver saw it coming and all the sudden was trying to turn into oncoming traffic blindly and I said wtf! 


Then BAM, I'm showered by glass from the rear, spin and pushed into oncoming traffic where a poor guy on a motorcycle hit my door.

Tanker continued into truck in front of us who was pushed into car ahead.  Driver may have saved our lives.  We are ok but already sore. Megan just got reused from therapy from being rear ended on the last day of school last summer. 

Motorcycle guy was laying flat lifeless at first but then standing and walking around but in pain and yelling. Helmet saved his head that busted my window.

Some Canadians stopped and offered to give us a ride, in 2 cars and we accepted, so we left the scene. I'm going back and report in with popo. Looks like Megan will make her flight and I'm headed back somehow. 

Thanks be to God.

We are blessed. We had a big crowd for dinner last night of about 20 (Linda's spaghetti night) and I said grace.   I always ask for safe travels for us all, never thinking it might be me that's needs some extra watching over. Megan and I prayed for the motorcycle rider too.

Photo of the truck that hit us and the car that was hit by the next truck that he hit square on the frame after he hit us. All of the corner damage is from hitting us.  He hit the truck lift gate steel square and pushed it frame to frame into the car. 

All of that energy would have been transferred into our car had our driver not turned the wheels and tried to escape the coming truck.  The truck stopped about 60 feet past where he hit us and pushed us into the other lane.  We are facing the direction we came from.

No impairment known. 

We were at the bottom of a huge incline coming down one of the mountains.  The area experiences a large increase in traffic from San Jose to the beaches during holiday and traffic was heavy
.
We were stopped because someone was turning up ahead and oncoming traffic was thick.  I guess he wasn't thinking ahead, and when he could see us ahead it was too late to stop his rig completely.

Well, today started great.  Run to the dump...check.  Recycle metal jeep parts...check (literally a 21 dollar check).  Then I decided to investigate my rear diff fluid level concern.  I'll post that in my build thread, since that's more of where it should be.  Jeep on trailer for run to AOP tomorrow...check.   Dinner with my best friend, the next thing I do.

Nah, guess the picture didn't show it well - my house currently has horns.  limb came through the roof.  Not a horrible thing to fix if it weren't so icy.  The gutter took a hit also so I'll have to bend it back to shape and ensure it's anchored.
Be sure to weigh the benefit of fixing it against your risk of bodily injury! 

Can you get in the attic, cut off what is extending through sufficiently to push it back out and then put buckets up there until it is safer?

Speaking of damage @Mortalis5509,  how's your bro? Guessing that one was an insurance claim?  Hope they're getting fixed up quickly.
He had 1 adjuster come out but he will need another due to the extent of the damage. I haven't talked to him much lately.

Friday my stomach started cramping and fun stuff. I think I have some stomach flu. I was better last night after a lot came up. Then around 4 today it started in on relentless cramps. I'm not sure if it's just pure hunger pains or just hurting with hunger pain. I came back late Wednesday but I was fine on Thursday.

I used to maintain a list of companies I wouldn't do business with, but then I wasn't able to buy anything :)

Walmart was on the list...do you know how hard it is to not buy anything at Walmart!!!  Normal crap during a normal day, no problem;  5am heading to the lake to go fishing...much harder.

I wasn't aware of the UA situation; however, a brief search indicates they chose mass marketing (non-hunters) over the sect of hunters who wear UA.  I guess (somehow) not paying the Bowmar's to represent your company is a slight to all the hunters???  It's your money, boycott who you want, but the whole thing seems silly to me;  Are you really buying UA because they condone/endorse people who spear hunt bears, or do you think they have a superior product?  Did their product quality drop because they quit supporting the Bowmars?  I'm pretty confident the Bowmars wore UA because they were paid to do so...if Redhead paid more, they'd be wearing Redhead...not because it's a superior product.  Buy good stuff, leave the politics behind. 

Now, I 'choose' to boycott UA because they discriminate against fat people by making clothes no larger than XXL :)  *snarky on* And it's a small XXL, IMHO!

I only shop with brands that use animals for product testing.

So I just signed up to do this day and a half pistol training course with 3 guys I work with (one a former Navy Seal). I've never done anything like this and look forward to checking it out.   The guys that teach it are bad asses and run executive security teams as well.

Check it out.

I think you will enjoy it.  //cheers2// I did local 3 gun comps back in my early/mid 20s. Got a little burnt out shooting and reloading. Shooting and loading 25k+ rounds a year for 3 years straight. //:hlp// I take every opportunity I can to train with the SO here. The SO is getting a new gun simulator (it shoots back) later this year and the guys at the SO have already asked me if I want to use it. //letseat// I am having to miss out on the helicopter sessions that are coming up.   //:'(// They are going to practice shooting from a Heuy and a Blackhawk.   //:o//

John, looks interesting. I've asked a couple folks I know who are plugged into the firearms training community about them and waiting to hear back.  I did a lot of firearm, force, protection training for a couple years ~'06-'08 timeframe when I was looking at overseas contract work. My brother was doing protection work for the UN making big money and trying to get me over there.  I also had a pistol pulled on me while bouncing at a bar and kinda went overboard training for a while after that. Anyway, I still have friends there and with training it's all about the quality of it and who the trainer is. These guys sound awesome but just checking.

The only other feedback I'll say is it's above market rate though I noticed they provide the pistol which could be a positive.
Examples:
Larry Vickers: http://www.vickerstactical.com/2017-class-schedule.html (Larry is f'n awesome.  Loved his classes and I really want to take his 1911 gunsmithing class but I don't think he's doing it this year due to time)
Chris Costa: http://costaludus.com/index.php?route=training/schedule
Defensive Concepts NC: http://defensiveconceptsnc.com/course-schedule/
Tactial Response: https://tacticalresponse.com/pages/schedule (Yeager is out there and causes all kinds of drama but he puts on a good class)
Suarez: https://suarezinternational.com/training-schedule/

There are others out there, I've heard of a couple in GA, but just listing a few to give you an example of the market.

I've been a big Vickers fan for a long time and one awesome thing in Larry's classes is he usually brings something cool to shoot. I got to shoot this exact gun - Larry's personal Sturmgewer 44 full auto.  Brass is expensive since it's not a common caliber anymore but he let each of us keep one.

/>
Good info, thanks Don. The primary reason we went this route is that one of the guys I work with knows one of the principals and they gave us a discount off the price listed on the website.

I really hope mid-March/early-April we get 1-2weeks of teens/twenties weather.  Otherwise bugs will be ridiculous this year.

They freeze for months in Minnesota and the mosquitos there are insane. Same w Alaska.

Does the depth of a winter really have a bearing on bugs?

Bike week wrap up - one motorcycle bangs off the rev limiter, another does a burnout, and many people go woo. someone passes the whiskey. repeat until 4am and restart at 7am.

Not really, but there is that.  I enjoy riding down as much as the event.  My cousin lives in Daytona (Wilbur By The Sea) on Ponce Inlet right on the river and 3 blocks from the ocean.  My buddy from SC meets me there and we have a good time riding to the different events around town.  We usually only do Main St. one night.  Last year when we went out at night, we took my cousin's car unless we were out all day and night.  Don't forget all the hotties walking around.  There are also too many women that were hotties of yesteryear or never was and need to put more clothes on.  LOL

True. Especially when the dogs drag a dish off the stove and crashes on the tile and cracks the tile, thus reminding you of the extensive work in the future to replace that 1 tile without messing up the rest.

Same goes for roofing. After the last time I laid 3 squares. I said I'd pay for the roof next time. Far easier to stroke the check.

On carpet, apples to apples, it pays to buy rolls in Dalton, haul it, pay an installer.
$13 vs $30 a yard.
$3900 vs $9000.
Where did you find the installer?
Actually i sold him a set of 2500 tires on Craigslist for his van off my 2006 Duramax 5 years ago. He's done multiple jobs for me. He does installs for Home Depot and Lowe's too.

The 34th wedding anniversary gift is almost left up to you as there are no symbols or flowers associated with it, unlike other wedding anniversary years. There is one item that is associated with the 34th wedding anniversary and that is the opal.

Then I bought the bungee balls from:

I think you can get the bungee balls from Walmart or Amazon, but I didn't see the short ones on there.

I measured from the middle of the roll cage and then subtracted about half an inch.  I figured I would rather have the tarp be too small and pulled tight by the bungee balls, then have it loose and flapping in the wind.

I'm happy with how it turned out, and it was only like 65 bucks...

Some people say they want their whole bonus and not to have 401k taken out.  I'm completely opposite.  Since bonus is taxed higher, there is no better time than to move as much out pre-tax as you can.

Exactly because the company matches the 401k deduction to some percentage so you end up with more money in the long run.

I never see my bonus or pay check for that matter.   I have a different kind of deduction its called "Wife"  pretty much sucks it dry, leaving me with whatever i can scrap from her purse.  :(

try owning your own business. Bonus check is called paying corporate taxes.
Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: DOUG on February 28, 2017, 01:29:54 PM

Some people say they want their whole bonus and not to have 401k taken out.  I'm completely opposite.  Since bonus is taxed higher, there is no better time than to move as much out pre-tax as you can.

True, the withholding rate is 25% for a "BONUS" if they put it in as such, so I follow your thinking.  And you know your actual taxes paid are unchanged when you file next year for the same total if you received a bonus or not.  It stops folks from changing their W4 just before bonus time and having little taken out.

Why would anyone ever not save at least the matching amount in their 401K.  It blows my mind.  I've seen hourly millionaires in the warehouse and I've seen 25+ year employees that didn't participate.

I think a lot of people start off with the "i don't make enough" to save mentality. And when they finally make more, keeping up with the Jones' means they still want all their money now.

Then there is the other half who have no concept of saving, dont understand the taxes behind it,  and don't have any peers/family who can tell them why they should.

If I understand it correctly, companies are better off when they claim extra pay as a "bonus" than to pay an employee through a regular check, correct? Something about its better for them at tax time.

Just wanted to post a quick update on my Mom.  She made it through surgery well and they are dialing in her pain meds.  She should be released Thu afternoon and I will be there with my Dad to get her back to the condo/timeshare.  She will have PT for the next week and she needs at least a week on blood thinners before she can fly home.  I head to Hilton Head tomorrow morning. 


Several of you texted me about my Mom and I sincerely appreciate it.  I would much rather be at CFR this weekend with everyone and I will be watching all of the social feeds, but we all only have one Mom and I figure this is only a fraction of the payback I owe her for all of the times she took care of me growing up.  I hate the idea of them being all alone away from home.

My guess is they had a redneck truck pull after 1 bro insulted the other's new Tony Llamas. Since pistol duels are passe, the decided to have a winch-off. The HF Badlands 10k cable snapped, leaving the Chinese warn VR12k victorious, but also seriously injuring the owner who was straddling the steel cable during the pull. Lessons learned on both sides.

That or maybe the dring or whatever it was attached to broke?

I know we all have to make choices on how we spend our money but I really hope every GATR member decides to run synthetic or switches to synthetic. I never thought I'd have a winch rope snap and when mine snapped last week I was shocked.  Since it was synthetic though it just went limp and didn't violently snap back at anyone.

Don yours was the third winch line I have seen break on GATR rides. All th others were synthetic and had the same result, just dropped straight down.

Anyone cover there line if left outside?


of the ones that broke, I know Scott and Jay keep theirs in a garage. 

I keep mine in the garage and have yet to brake a rope.  I don't cover it when it is outside.

On a different not, I got a warning for speeding tonight. It said 65 - 70 mph in a 55mph.

RE: synthetic winch line

I imagine dirt and grit working into the line contributes to a loss of strength over time. When rock climbing, I was told not to step on the rope to drive dirt into it so that the rope would last. Not sure if it's true but seems plausible.

I buy into that...but it's impossible to avoid dirt in the conditions where we get stuck.  The worst thing is that the fools helping you by moving your winch line will inevitably treat your line differently than you would treat your line.   I prefer the help, so I'll just buy line more frequently...or not get stuck ;)

I have also read that you should un-spool and rinse out the line to get the small dirt and sand particles out of it from time to time. 

I am guilty of never doing this.  Probably because I don't know if you can re-spool the line up while its wet or if you should let it dry out first.

Yea I don't expect anything to be done any different when winching, the dirt is unavoidable really. I think it does explain why we just shouldn't be surprised when an older line that was rated at say 20,000 snaps easily (meaning before the winch stalls or slows significantly) on say an 8000 lb winch. The ease of being able to tie a knot and go right back to winching is great though.

I've heard that, and I believe it. We always made those people kiss the rope and apologize :)

Im just spoiled now with this Cummins HO, the Ford feels like a giant turd, given the OBS weighs 9500lbs and is riding on 37s and the Cummins is 6200lb+- a hunno and on 35s.

Damn Mike...didn't you have a similar thing last year?

Yes, backed my Jeep into the Harley that fell over on the Mercedes.  That cost me $1000. 

Her WK2 is 6.5 years old now and has 80k miles on it.  It is still in excellent condition mainly because I'm so OCD about my vehicles.  I'll pay out of pocket to get it fixed.  Probably won't take it to Performance Auto Collision who I've used for "her mishaps" in the past because they are high dollar.  I'll get some estimates from a few other places as it should be a pretty straight forward fix.  If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.  She plans to keep the WK2 a few more years.

I am thinking due to spring break and all, this is not a true test of how traffic will be.    what i noticed friday, .. I leave and come down North Druid Hills cross 85 .. out to 78 and then home.    Druid hills was backed up at 3.  normally its not till 4, i have a sneaky way to cross 85 and get back on druid hills, so i did that with no issue.   after that it was normal.   but when i was on 78, the in bound traffic getting on 285(outer loop) was really backed up,..?   

My commute is not really affected, i think it will only be coming home , cause i go in to work at 4:30 and seeing how maybe only kevin is up then, its light... going home, i will prob. use my other route to get over 85 and back on druid hills to 78.   

about 1/3 of our office folks are south of the airport and now use 285 instead of coming thru town, so they are going to add time to their commute.   most of the others are live up 75 and 400, so they are looking at ways around , the back streets from where they are making folks exit is going to really get cluttered, as Atlanta drivers seem to enjoy blocking intersections and texting while driving.   

I am hoping to see our company offer some more extended work from home days.

its really odd how the jury letters go out.  I lived in Cobb County for over 20 years, at the same address for 16 years.  Never once received a jury summons.

I was confident that when I moved to Cherokee County that I would immediately get a jury summons.  3 years, not yet.

Forsyth County.  A MAG hat would ensure my being selected.

Many years ago my office was in the courthouse in Miami, and at lunchtime we'd sometimes sit in at the "day court" where the previous day's collection of miscreants passed before the judge.  Some of the cases were hilarious.  My favorite was the fat teenager caught shoplifting 'hot pants'.

Fly enough times and it's hard to get nervous. Becky hates flying, I always remind her that the pilots won't take off if it's not safe. Odds are too crazy to worry about. And if something happens, then I feel like it's just your time to go.

I was getting ready to fly home from Kansas one time a few years ago. A few hours before leaving I ended up see some crazy tank looking thing, so I stopped to see it. Turns out that it was the guys from Storm Chasers...chasing a storm! Then it hit me that I'd be taking off in that later. There was a flag pole at the airport moving around in the wind. Still took off and lived :)

Does your co allow you to purchase or pay upgrade fees to 1st? What are the parameters?  I'm international only, if the cost is too high we use points and no mileage credit so that hurts trying to keep the status.  its a game in itself. 

Everything here goes thru our agent and she must be on a savings incentive program, so it always the cheapest.  If you don't have status you're screwed, and never a upgrade on these fares even though I'm Diamond 2mm miler.

When I was working only international was biz class, but most of the domestic fares then were possible upgrades.  I used to fly Airtran to Chicago frequently and could upgrade for $25 space available.  It's only a 90 minute flight but was still worthwhile.  FF miles have suffered severe inflation since then.

Now Southwest is my first choice, Delta second with miles, American 3rd.

Southwest f'd me when they destroyed AirTran.  I used to upgrade to business class every flight for less than $100. 

I pay personally to upgrade when I can.  I only get the Orion every so often.  Given that I just landed and was on the plane for 4.5hrs for a 1.5hr flight it was a good choice. 

I agree with your assessment Jay.  Only time I've got concerned was when we hit turbulence landing and did a stop and go.  Crosswinds in Orlando that day were horrendous.  We circled for over an hour and didn't have fuel for much more.
A touch and go in a commercial airliner would get my attention, too!

When I worked at SAP they had (and still have) a policy that allowed you to book business class on any flights 4hr+ as long as you had completed 2 8hr+ flights. It reset each year. So, everyone would book their trips to Germany in Jan/Feb to satisfy the 8hr trip requirement and then you could book biz class for the rest of the year.

They actually had the name first. The horse riding club. We had to call the owner of the domain Georgiatrailriders.com to ask if we could have it. Because GAtrailriders.com was harder to explain then just georgiatrailriders.com so now we have both domains. They probably had the facebook first too.

I have no Idea WTF is up with my taxes! I just got a notice that they say I owe $4000 from 2014! I already know I owe $6000 from 2016. I am apparently in the 1% and owe more than the average person. FML Anyone know of a real good tax attorney? My accountant has retired and basically said, sorry for your luck... Either way this is going to cost me a lot just to figure this shit out and hopefully get the IRS off my back.

Well. They sent me a form that says we owe. It doesn't say anything about why they think we owe and with my current accountant reluctant to take the case because it was done by someone else, I'm sitting here like WTF. I'm going to give them a call monday but I don't know if that will help. Not expecting much help from an IRS agent on the phone.

You still have your files right? The facts should be clear. They must think you have income you didn't report. Is someone paying you and sending a 1099?

Both parks have easyer trails, and bypass's, Golden is the Club yearly event (dont miss) raffles and food, worth it if u can make it.    I try and make sure i can make 3 rides if at all possible.   Crawling for Reid, and the Club GARfest those are great, Harlen.. just because i have been and just love the whole event, from the trials, to cabins, to moonshine...food.. err i mean fellowship with my club buddies.  ;)

RL always gets in the way...I'm missing the Cove ride because of a previous engagement. And I will probably miss Golden due to a friend being in the States...27 years is a long time, pretty sure missing this ride will be worth it...
and Gulches and I have a love hate relationship right now.

@Chris36l  drive that rig with out lockers until you can afford to do it right. It'll make you a better driver when you do get lockers. Finesse is an often overlooked characteristic, but learning to pick a line does not simply happen, you have to learn it.

Finesse--(1. extreme delicacy or subtlety in action, performance, skill, discrimination, taste, etc. 2. skill in handling a difficult or highly sensitive situation; adroit and artful management: exceptional diplomatic finesse. 3. a trick, artifice, or stratagem.)

I wheeled for years without any lockers and had a blast. Limited yes, but it makes you think out of the box and pick different lines that others may not even consider. Get familiar with your jeep and how it works. Adding lockers does NOTHING to improve your ability to read terrain and judge lines. Lockers are awesome but without the driver skill behind them they serve no use. Harlan is doable without lockers. Ryan S went one year in his 2 door JK and did every trail with no issues on 33s. I was amazed but then again, he is a great driver. Things to ponder  //:o//

Post by: Blue J on April 28, 2017, 09:45:55 AM
I'm sure a lunchbox will increase the fun factor and all that. I'm just of the viewpoint of do it right the 1st time instead of their being a 2nd or 3rd time...symantics...to each there own.

Guilty
His right to have a trial
My right to have no mercy
Sounds like he is trying to weasel out.   He's filling the courts and using tax dollars that could go to much better use.

Keep an offline backup.  Newer ransomware specifically looks for and targets connected backups.
Would something like carbonite work?
I've got all of my cad files and cam files backed up there. 11 years worth of part programs would be devastating to lose.

If you do a search for Carbonite + ransomware it has multiple pages on how it protects against it.  I don't use it and don't know much about the technical details (sometimes the devil is in the details) but from skimming those pages it sounds like it does.

https://www.carbonite.com/globalassets/files-white-papers/carb-ransomware-preparedness-recovery-guide.pdf

Versioning of backups is a very good thing.

So the WD drive on my desk and the 2nd internal mirrored hardrive would all be lost,
but my carbonite should survive.

It's your business and you do what you want of course but just curious -  i always figured Kroger would be a more expensive option for a business?

When kroger puts them on sale for $6.99 that's by far cheaper than a food wholesale. Now this isnt always the case and isn't feaseable to hunt things down. Pfg and the likes are $230 - 240 a case of 30 pounds (Canadian snow crab 5 - 7 ounce legs). On a all you can eat that's 100% worth it for crab legs.

As you stated, Kroger isn't always the best option. We use Sams because there are things cheaper than wholesale that are pretty good actually.  I haven't checked but I don't think they are on sale next week at kroger which results in buying from a wholesaler and in return drives up food cost. We have a deal at $36.99 for all you eat legs, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp and 2 sides. Shrimp is also a refill item. As you can imagine every penny counts when the average person eats 3 pounds a person.

Front left if the axle is a 30, front right is a 30, that equals a dana 60. Both rears add up to a dana 70. Sounds like a solid plan.

Not on my list just due to the extreme cost.  If I've got more money than I know what to do with after an IPO or something in 10 years than I might add it.  He was able to get an in with a friend from LA tied to Nerdist.

Bad dudes killed 2 correctional officers in Putnam near the lake house this morning on a state transport bus, and they now have 2 Glock 40's.

I hope they don't hurt anyone else before they can be extinguished.  They immediately carjacked the first car, a grass green honda, and let that fella go.

Just my view on exotics - they suck.  Normally the guys that buy them don't know jack shit about cars.  They buy a car and take it to a show.  Ooooohhhhh, how cool is that?  Nothing new or different, maybe some different wheels. 

Not calling you out Conner, just hate exotics.  Now if you see a '65 Ferrari 275 GTB, take a picture.

I agree, 911 has been one of my all time favorites and the new Vettes are really nice.

One of my colleagues in the Bay Area has a beautiful 911 Cabrio.  He was my "uber" driver Mon and Tue this week.

It's worth the trip alone. Everything they have on the menu has bacon and it's not cheap bacon either. It's about a 45 minute drive from our house  but we go there often. It's the first restaurant we went to when we moved here.

Good day there Bobby!. I am amazed at folks that won't put in the time and do what it takes and want a raise and a promotion.

Make hay while the sun shines.

15 hour days is a bit long...

I too subscribe to the give it a bit more than the minimum 'work ethic'; however, I think I understand why some choose not to do the same.  Living comfortably is good enough for some.   For me, I'll sacrifice some income to not travel constantly...that's my give.

What I don't understand is people who can clearly tell they are working hard (maybe even working smartly) and not progressing at the same rate as others (or make what others make)...why don't you do what successful people do?  Look around at who is successful, then learn what they do, and then mimic them; there are several people in the club who can be mentors for smart working people.

The other one I don't get is why people continue to live in areas that are obviously never going to have an economic growth rate that is close to other areas.  Freaking move to where you can be successful!  Retraining a coal miner to run a server farm is wasteful if he continues to live in coal country.

15 hour days aren't very unusual for any of our management team when something needs to get done.  A 6am to 9pm day or whenever isnt that big of a deal when its needed. Certsinly not every day.   

I want folks working for me that I know will do whatever it takes.  So does my boss.  Those folks are promotable. The ones that won't and don't check email on vacation, well they aren't going to be our first pick.

Traveling is almost always that kind of hours or more. New kids can't keep up on a cross country trip of 3 cities, 3 evening flights, 3 hotels, and a redeye back to the office. It kicks my ass the older i get. About to give up the redeyes.

I couldn't do the out on sunday and back on Friday either for any money if i had a choice. Would do anything to feed my family.

takin shots at the rural workers. its a lifestyle choice for me more than anything. I know i could make 3-4 times as much working for someone else in a ABRA or Bla Bla Collision with next to 0 headaches. I dont want to deal with traffic, I hate the smell of the city (any city), and for the most part I dont have the patience for "city folk".. I could keep naming reasons Id rather make less and live in the mountains, there are many. Beth is a 1st hand victim tho, she made the same money bartending on weekends in 2 days that it takes 40 hrs to make here, she is getting there tho, she already makes more than I do, and she would never move back.. so she says lol ..

I have no issues Justin, its not about what u make, its about being content, if your not, change, if have to find a balance and u seemed to have found it, I would love to move to the mtns in a cabin, removed from everyone, .  i like "IT", seem to have a nack. for it, and it pays bills and keeps the wife happy with her toys.    u have a good woman who supports you and that, is worth a lot.  keep living the dream, gives the rest of us hope.  ;)

For some it's all about the money. For others it's family. Obviously you need money to have the family but the older I get the more I want to have "less" if you think about it for a minute do you think we were put on this earth to work and make money to buy things we don't need? Hey, I love my hobbies and toys just like the next guy but if you break it down to life's essentials it's all a waste of time and money and time away from real life. I'm pretty simple in my needs and it always makes me laugh when I see people salivating for the next big thing, new car, new cell phone, new tires, new whatever. People have lost the feeling of being contempt in their life. I don't really "need" anything as it is all wants, all of it is wants. Air, food, roof over your head and some income to live within your means is enough for me. My personal goal is to move to the mountains and buy a good sized piece of property and live the rest of my life on that land. Will I need a job, yup. But by then I will not need the income I do now. I have been blessed by going thru a very difficult debt situation where I learned a good deal about money and how to control it. But we are all different and driven by different goals and that's what makes us all unique. Not everyone's happiness is the same.   //cheers2//

Anyone watch "Alone" this season its pairs of 2.  the start off in diff. locations, and 1 has to hike to the other. like 10miles.  i have watched all the seasons, this one is different, only a few days in and 3  teams have tapped out.  yikes...

I wonder if the pairing was due to people going insane from isolation?

lol, well some of the teasers have several of them fighting..  so it could have a reverse affect.
Good point. Kind of like the Yahoo's on naked and afraid

The celebration of freedom knows no curfew

I'm all for celebrating freedom, but show some consideration.  Took 10 minutes to calm down my dog. 

I let the dogs outside when I got home from work yesterday.  The guy adjacent to my house in another neighborhood lit off something and it exploded in his yard.  His 3 yr old boy went running into the house crying.  He was walking around the yard mumbling OMG, holy shit, etc.

What fireworks can you buy in Georgia?

In Georgia, all fireworks classified as DOT 1.4G (consumer fireworks) are legal to purchase and use as stated in the Georgia General Assembly House Bill 727.The fireworks that you can legally buy in retail stores across Georgia include:

Bottle Rockets
Sky Rockets
Roman Candles
Firecrackers
Sparklers
Smoke and Punk
Fountains
Missiles
Novelties
Crackle and Strobe
Parachutes
Wheels and Spinners
Sky Flyers
Display Shells
Aerial Items (Cakes)
Who Can Buy Consumer Fireworks in Georgia?

In Georgia, you must be 18 years or older to purchase fireworks. There is not an exact age for igniting them, but Georgia.gov reminds residents to remember that most injuries happen to kids under 16.

It is illegal to light fireworks under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

When Can You Light Fireworks in Georgia?

While technically you can ignite fireworks all year, they were really meant for the holidays. In particular, July 4 and New Year's. On those days, the hours are extended:

New Years: until 1 a.m.
Fourth of July: until midnight
Any other day: Not after 9 p.m.

Where Can You Light Fireworks in Georgia?

It depends on where you live. Some private communities, including HOAs, condos or apartment complexes, may prohibit fireworks, while others may set aside a spot to ignite them. Bottom line: check your communities laws and bylines to be sure.

There are some places where fireworks are banned, including on roads and highways.

It is illegal to light fireworks within 100 yards of a:

Hospital
Nursing home
Prison
Nuclear power plant
Gas station or refinery
Fireworks are strictly prohibited in state parks, according the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, State Parks and Historic Sites. They are also banned in other public parks except for those with a special license.

Keep in mind that while they may be legal, consumer fireworks are considered hazardous materials (hazmat) division 1.4G explosives. Be mindful of the laws when purchasing and lighting them off to ensure the safety of everyone.

Fireworks Facts (from Georgia.gov)

A 5% sales tax on fireworks sold in Georgia goes toward the state’s trauma care network, training and equipment for Georgia firefighters.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be injured by fireworks. The risk of injury from fireworks is highest for the 0-4 age group, followed by children 10-14 years old.

Sparklers are deceivingly benign. They can actually burn as hot as 2,000° F and account for 79% of injuries to children under 5 years old.

China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world — supplying 90% of all fireworks.

Safety first:

DeKalb County Fire Captain Eric Jackson said those who choose to light fireworks should take these precautions:

- Light them on level concrete

- Wear safety clothing. That means be fully clothed, with no loose or hanging clothes that could catch fire.

- Wear eye protection

Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens offers these additional tips:

Always read and follow label directions
Only use fireworks outdoors
Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks
Only light one firework at a time
Never re-ignite malfunctioning fireworks
Fireworks should only be used with close adult supervision
Never give fireworks to small children
Be sure to have water handy
Never throw fireworks at another person
Remember to call your local 911 for emergencies

Prefinished or oak boards?

I hope they use a dustless system.  Had oak board hardwoods installed in my last house and it was a mess for weeks.  Post pics before and after.

Prefinished,  Wife vetoed the plain oak because of dust and time to finish.  Before pics are carpet.  I should be able to post an after pic.

We had to have the downstairs kitchen and entryway refinished after a water leak some years back.  It wasn't too bad, but since the new floor is the entire upstairs we didn't want to live with it.

So this morning our 2 y/o 55" Vizio TV lost its picture (but not sound).  Some internet research point to the power supply board as a frequent culprit, and I found some videos on repairs.  After removing the rear panel (18 screws), I was able to identify the proper board and ordered a replacement from shopjimmy.com.  Specified FedEx overnight, but that probably means getting the board on Tuesday.

Probably won't be buying any more Vizio products in the future.

Samsung goes through this too, based on a friend's experience.  He ordered the part and it didn't fix the issue.

My vizio is fine, but I find the UI to need improvement, so I doubt I'll get another vizio...but we'll see when it's time to drop $1k vs 500 hundred bucks

So this morning our 2 y/o 55" Vizio TV lost its picture (but not sound).  Some internet research point to the power supply board as a frequent culprit, and I found some videos on repairs.  After removing the rear panel (18 screws), I was able to identify the proper board and ordered a replacement from shopjimmy.com.  Specified FedEx overnight, but that probably means getting the board on Tuesday.

Probably won't be buying any more Vizio products in the future.
Samsung goes through this too, based on a friend's experience.  He ordered the part and it didn't fix the issue.

My vizio is fine, but I find the UI to need improvement, so I doubt I'll get another vizio...but we'll see when it's time to drop $1k vs 500 hundred bucks

My Samsung Plasma did this a few years ago...I called a TV repair guy. The guy put the TV face down on my carpet removed the back and removed and installed/soldered  new capacitors or something like that, he charged me $65.00 The capacitors probably cost a couple peanuts but he was fast and the TV was fixed. Same day service. He told me if you ever see a Flat screen on the trash pile that is probably what is wrong with it.

When my in-laws tv messed up, they sold it through Facebook for $20. Turns out the buyer was their neighbor. He fixed it, and offered to sell it back to them for $30 (which they did). All it needed was a cheap capacitor.

TV Update:  took it to Norman's Electronics on Clairmont yesterday.  Got a call today that it's fixed - loose components on the power supply board (the same one I replaced with a supposedly good one).  Cost $150.

I'll get $40 back out of the $85 I spent getting the "new" board shipped to me.

So $200 to repair a 2 y/o TV that cost $700 originally.  But that's offset by the alternative of spending over $700 to get a new one.

It's offset, if it lasts 2 more years.

I don't know what in the heck you are stating/asking. 

I don't read much news, so any television shows on that list below CNN are usually pretty tough to watch, unless it's a couple of shows on Fox (usually the journalist ones).

Does Fox have any 'investigative' journalist, or are they just 'we report, you decide' folks?

Thought you'd appreciate that, so if you're looking for someone who does investigative reporting I don't think that exists anywhere outside of "11 alive" anymore. Certain shows will have guests on that share their investigative journalism, and the talking head adds their two cents.

I almost exclusively read the news. The talking heads (any network) usually all have this condescending tone that i can't tolerate. Plus, after 5 minutes, they have hashed out the same debate multiple times while talking over whatever guest they have.

He said that the boards aren't really tested at the factory; only when assembled on the TV is there a test.  Of course, that may be just his opinion.

I show my oldest the tools one time and now he has a habit of getting out the keys and looking through the drawers when he is in the garage.

Little does he and his younger brother know, but they are only allowed to work out of the Craftsman box. Dad's box is off limits to unsupervised kids...and adults for that matter.  //no//

Our local conservative radio talk show host (the Austin Rhodes Show) had an interview with a "left wing writer from Oregon" And was played over the air (I have not heard it, nor do i listen to the show, but will try to find the replay):

From their fb:
Hats off to John C. for prompting us to look in a certain direction for the connection...but we have concluded that "Dr. Nira Cain"...the "left wing writer from Oregon", interviewed in our studio yesterday, was in fact Sacha Baron Cohen.

The producer traveling with the documentary crew, Todd, was in fact this man, Todd Schulman.  He spent the entire 90 minutes of the interview in the control room with my producer, Bill Botham.

Schulman is a longtime collaborator of SBC, having worked on virtually all of SBC's recent major films.

As a big fan of "Borat", I should have caught the voice...but the make-up job was too damn good.  Gotta say...I am tickled to death to have been picked for this "interview", and I can't wait to see what happens with the footage.

(The crew was adamant about "no pictures" being taken of "Dr. Cain", but we are lifting security footage tomorrow to provide you a look)

I wonder where the author of that came up with that. When I worked for UPS, and it may have changed since then, you could not be hired in immediately as a driver. It would take years of working up through the loader/unloaded to sorter etc ranks before you would even be eligible for a route. So the earning starting at 18 isnt exactly accurate.  Also, a UPS truck driver may qualify for the Section 13(b)1 overtime exemption in the Fair Labor Standards Act. So they can scratch that UPS working MD hours line off the chart.

As a detail guy, I love the detail in your responses.
Ditto. 

My thought was that while it would be nice to hypothesize about a UPS driver working 70 hours per week, that's a rough job to be pulling that many hours per week for 24+ years.  Being a doctor in an office, not as tough to knock down 70 hours per week. 


I don't hear about any UPS truck drivers driving white balls down the fairway of an exclusive country club on a weekday afternoon, but I hear about doctors doing it.

This just happened to me last week.  I was mowing the yard and noticed water dripping from a small pipe coming out of the side of my house up above the second floor.  I was pretty sure exactly what was going on.  Went up into the attic and found that the regular condensation drain had clogged and it was filling up the emergency drain pan and dripping out of that pipe.  I tested the float in the drain pan and it was working, the water had just not got high enough to activate it yet.  Sucked the water out of the pan and had CoolRay come out and make the fix. 

I got lucky that the pan held the water and the emergency drain worked correctly.  No water damage.

When we bought our house in december of 2011 we had a really cold snap for about a week. We had been in the house for less than a week and i come home and the garage door isn't working. I go in through the front door and the entire ceiling in the dining room and garage has fell in due to water. A sprinkler pipe had burst over the garage and sprayed throughout the entire house all day. I think it ended up being around 45,000 in damage but we essentially got a brand new interior of our house. It sucks at the time but will always work out for the better. Just be patient and know the insurance company is going to try and screw you any way they can.

I fixed it last night.

Drying things out now. It only affected a very small part but that's where the only carpet is in the basement. Sheetrock looks fine and I only saw a little mold on the base boards. Coated them in bleach.

I have a carpet cleaner but it's not at my house but will be today.

I will not be bothering house insurance. Too small and they kill you on premium. If they show up and you don't get anything from them, its still a ding on your report. My new roof comes off in the spring of next year, so unless it's catastrophic I'll leave them out.

I would put some box fans around to circulate the air.  The pros use those medium velocity, high volume blowers (squirrel fan design), but for that I'd just get the air moving.  A dehumidifier would be good too.

Shortly after we bought our first house in atlanta, my wife decided to take a bath. The plumber never sealed the drain of the tub, so all the water started dumping out the bottom of the tub into the kitchen below. We had 8 or so recessed can lights, all of them dumping water like some elegant waterfall.


We did have the A.C. attic drain clog like everyone else here in our Augusta house. Very glad the pan and shutoff switch worked, sounds like it could have been a lot worse!

A sprinkler pipe had burst over the garage and sprayed throughout the entire house all day.

Fire Sprinklers?  Rare in Single family homes here. Did the county require it for new construction?  Maybe only the garage?

I built our last house with a full sprinkler system.  Filled the system with eco antifreeze before the final charge, although I had no pipes in the attic, only basement and walls, but if we lost heat for an extended time I didn't want a busted pipe.  Unlike your house water, the sprinkler lines should be the highest pressure possible and bypasses the regulator so you must have had a Noah sized flood and a HUGE water bill.  We had 130psi.

They are required if there is no fire barrier between the garage and the house (sheetrock). Our garage has sheetrock so i have no idea why we have sprinklers also.

Code calls for sprinklers in garages if living space is above. Like a garage basement with the main floor above or bedroom above.

That sucks!

Clorox in the basement pump and attic pan every year.  I need to bad. 

Make a note guys, if you ever build a house, always put extra pipes in the slab from the A/C area and the panel to get the AC condensation, power, and anything else you want out of the house.
If the pipe cloggs up through the slab could be an issue.

This just happened to me last week.  I was mowing the yard and noticed water dripping from a small pipe coming out of the side of my house up above the second floor.  I was pretty sure exactly what was going on.  Went up into the attic and found that the regular condensation drain had clogged and it was filling up the emergency drain pan and dripping out of that pipe.  I tested the float in the drain pan and it was working, the water had just not got high enough to activate it yet.  Sucked the water out of the pan and had CoolRay come out and make the fix. 

I got lucky that the pan held the water and the emergency drain worked correctly.  No water damage.

Your attic has a pump rather than gravity feed?

No.  I said the normal drain got clogged. That made the condensation back up into the pan.

A guy at work just went through this.  He said his drain line was completely blocked by minerals and his drain pan had a slight leak that didn't allow the float switch to cut off the air.

Good luck on getting it fixed.

Good luck. I had this happen last year on my attic unit. The float switch in the drain pan had gone bad as well. Went to throw some laundry in one morning and saw water leaking from the ceiling.  Major pain in the ass.

When we bought our house in december of 2011 we had a really cold snap for about a week. We had been in the house for less than a week and i come home and the garage door isn't working. I go in through the front door and the entire ceiling in the dining room and garage has fell in due to water. A sprinkler pipe had burst over the garage and sprayed throughout the entire house all day. I think it ended up being around 45,000 in damage but we essentially got a brand new interior of our house. It sucks at the time but will always work out for the better. Just be patient and know the insurance company is going to try and screw you any way they can.

Couldn't you just replace the entire trailer for $45k?

My defense:  ...twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence...

Seriously, it'll be an exact wording of the law, a bunch of definitions of truck and vehicle, plus some pictures of my truck (a powered vehicle) and trailer (an non-powered vehicle).  I'll probably lose, but I believe I'm in the right here, so I hope I win!

YEARS AGO, I went to small claims court and was the defendant.  Garbage company was suing me for non-payment of 3 years.  Problem was, a trash container was dropped off at my house when I moved into the neighborhood and I never knew it was private collection and never signed a contract.  A guy shows up at my door 3 years later to collect 3 years worth of trash collection.  I told him to go fuck himself. 

Went to court and it looked like a tiny classroom and the "judge" might have been 30 years old and was wearing khakis and a polo shirt.  I got a little snippy with him and he stopped the proceedings and said "this might not look like a court room, but it is; I might not look like a judge, but I am".  I got the hint and fell in line and avoided being taken away.  My point to the judge was that I never signed a contract and how was I to know this was a private service not paid for by the city.  I told him that it was like a scam that this guy drops off trash cans and comes years later to collect a large amount of money.  The judge said he saw my point but that by allowing them to take my garbage for 3 years, (can't remember the term) I implicitly was bound contractually.  He did say that the statue of limitations only allow the garbage company to collect for the past 9 months.  He suspended the case for 30 days and if neither of us came back and settled the matter, it would be dropped.  I wrote the guy a check for the 9 months and continued to pay the monthly fee until I sold the house.  I still felt like I was cheated but it was an okay compromise.

I got the last laugh.  Raleigh used to have something live Alive After 5 on Fridays on the mall.  The city buildings surrounded the mall.  I was there with a group of people and saw the "judge" partying with a group of people.  Now I was young and buzzed, I went to the beer truck and bought two 16oz cups of beer.  Walking back to my group, I walk by the guy, acted like I tripped, and the two beers spilled all over him and soaked him.  I apologized and walked away.  Might have been a dick move, but I felt it evened the scales of justice at the time.

I believe I'm not guilty. 

I have a line of arguments based on state documentation, that i hope proves me innocent, or at least not guilty.

You need to state your case here in a clear methodical way so we can connect the dots and we'll vote. It'll be good practice.

Yup, from the factory and part of the "track apps" section of the center dash selection. I found an empty parking lot before I headed to dinner tonight and smoked the rear tires with the front line lock. This thing is a beast for a "stock" GT Premium with the 5.0. I would get into some trouble driving this every day. I took the long way back to the hotel tonight after dinner.

Also, I thought this was cool. When you unlock the car at night, there is a light mounted on the bottom of the driver and passenger side view mirror that projects a mustang on the ground beside the doors. Pretty cool.   Pic below.

Have you ever felt bad about telling somebody no, especially a family member.

So my father in law came over to talk to me and his daughter about the resturant. It was a discussion about us taking it over or not. If we had chosen to take it over, it would have cost us $xxx,xxx dollars. I felt so so bad about saying no. I felt like it was a let down, complete. On the up side there is a buyer that he would get more money from and not have to do the updates. He was going to pay for the grandfather updates. If he sells it to them he's not doing the updates. He comes out ahead but it doesn't stay in the family.

I currently own 2 business now and there are good and bad business deals, family or not. I just wish he would have put more money back into the business along the way as it would be in a better position in my eyes today. I would get it $0.50 on the dollar of its true land, building, and business value. My wife is a certified commercial real estate appraiser for SunTrust and her job is to review million dollar plus evaluations on loans so I know the true value from a bank stand point.

He benefits from a non family sell as this is his retirement, but man, his other two sons don't want it. Dang, sucks. Chalk it up to one of those things.

I get your position, and it sounds like you made the right decision.  You have the added shit position of your marriage in the mix.  I do find the "in the family" thing to be a silly reason, but I'm not trying to pass along one of my most important accomplishments.

I try to stick with a general rule:  Don't do business with friends or family.  Period.

That rule nearly cost me a friend, and I'm sure it did permanent damage to the friendship, but I had to tell a bud that I wouldn't use him as my financial investor when he was starting out as one.

That rule, purely by fortune, also saved me from taking a job that would have disappeared within a couple of years and kept be from the awesome job I have now.  At the time it was tough to tell a friend I couldn't work for his company and support their goals.

I didn't follow that rule when I bought my second home and I was loaned money from my mom.  She nagged me one time about the house and how, "you wouldn't have this house without me".  While not accurate, since I'd just have had PMI added to the loan, I had to explain that if I had known she'd do that I'd never have accepted the money. I paid it back immediately after the first house sold.  Things were tough for a bit, but now I hardly think about...hardly.

If I "loan" money to a friend or family member, I actually go ahead and accept I'll never see that money again; If I can't accept that, then I don't loan the money.  If I get it back, great, but if I don't, I can still get along with that person without it pissing me off that they haven't paid me back.  It works for me, YMMV.

You did the right thing.  The restaurant is HIS business and HIS passion.  That doesn't have to translate to burdening you with it just because he thinks it should stay in the family.  If you were truly passionate about being a restaurant (I have friends that are), then it would be a different story.  You're at a good point in your life.  You're young, your wife has a good job, and you do whatever you decide to so that you're happy with your work every day.  I wish I had done that when I was your age.  I have a great job and make great money, but I lost my passion for technology many years ago.  Now it's just another "go work for the man" job.  Thankfully I only have 8 more years to do it. 

Good luck with your future, we'll be here to support you (and break your balls)!

Yep, same here.  My wife and I bailed out my cousin twice.  The first time we were repaid.  The second time we loaned them $2k and then all of a sudden we didn't hear from them as much and it became awkward.  It was my family and my wife called her one day and told her not to worry about the $2k and consider it a gift.
Did that fix things with the awkwardness?

Hey, can I borrow a coupe of grand?

Yes, we're all good now.  They moved back to MD and both got great jobs.  I found out recently that their downfall was due to my cousin's husband getting a DUI and losing his job because he couldn't drive.  He works in construction. 

Let me know how much you need.  :)  Just leave me the title to your Jeep (only so we can remain friends LOL).

I do like resturants and running them and wasn't doing it to keep it in the family. I worked there because I do enjoy it, but not all the numbers worked in its favor.

Now if I could have a resturant near the new hospital in braselton, that would be a gold mine by me. It's the area its at now that has me concerned a lot. Where I live now was similar to the area when he opened it 33 years ago. I could turn some serious net profit in my area, especially if i included delivery.

If you really enjoy it and think its viable in another location. Put your business plan together get a loan for another location and do it.

As of this second there isn't a place open to put it into a shopping type area yet. Free standing would be $1 million build out easy. The best I can get away would be 10% down at the tune of 100k. I would rather keep my ultra 4 car. In a strip mall type setting would be $200k or so would be my guess.

It will stay on the back burner for now. I'm only 33 so I have time still.

I was not meaning in any way your daughter is that way. My nephew is 33. 3 kids that he doesn't see or take care of in any way. He is 100 percent the product of his environment though. Daniel (my brother) was the same way until he finally went to jail for a couple of years. He got out in 2004 and has been clean ever since then. He worked for my brother in law building houses until 2010 and has worked for me ever since. He feels guilty for not being there for his son for all those years and now has a grown man who wont take care of himself.

Turned out to be my flag moving creating a shadow that looked human and then the motion a a cat on my wifes sub. I was about ready to go out and light somebody up. Hate when I have nights like this.

Poor Daisy! She's gotten old too so I hope all goes well with recovery. My mom and dad have spend about $4000 on their dog and it never healed right. But it's part of having a dog.

Thanks guys, she is our best girl lol. One of the kids.  And the one that is always happy to see me!

The operation is different Tripp.  They cut the lower bone twist the head and reattach it so it improves the joint design over the natural one and the crucial ligament is no longer needed.  Months to full recovery.

4 years ago we had a major surgery on our oldest dog, Jessie. She had a cancerous tumor on the inside of her rib cage. Blue Pearl in Dunwoody did the procedure and they had to remove 3 of her ribs on one side. I was amazed at how she bounced back. 4 yrs later she is cancer free and you'd never know she had the procedure. Amazing how resilient they are.

Sending good vibes your way.

Well it was worse than we all thought.  Some dogs have cronic failure but this was an impact ripped it apart traumatic incident.  Damaged other stuff and required a 2nd separate procedure after the TPLO of adding an implant to the opposite side of the plate to reinforce the joint.  We'll pick her up tomorrow afternoon hopefully. .

Day trip to gulches yesterday. Expected it to be muddy and busy, but it was dry as a bone and empty. Perfect conditions for the park. I made every obstacle I attempted, with zero damage, which is more than I can say for my buddy richie who ripped apart a Chevy kingpin knuckle while trying to tow out a disabled jeep from the bottom of death valley/shipwreck entrance. Would have been a fun recovery, but a friend nearby had a spare so he left it on the trail until the morning and fixed it there.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/e4ef1d7d18d7a66dca3f7ec57cc29b5c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/c156db4f2ee8ccea96d60a9f6b41d60e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/8e19c32499cabefe9bfdf2908c6c2135.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/7b57293f48a0a8426825a96056c6f0ea.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170904/893b7d4d085f1d7bce6f19c9353d1c43.jpg)

Going back to the orthopedic on Thursday for knee issues. This time it's my left knee. Surgery was on my right knee last.

I have already had 3 surgeries on my left knee and the last was in 2005. 1 - take out a torn acl, 2 - replace acl, and 3 - cut out a bone spur. I hope it doesn't require cutting on it any more.

It swollen now and the pain comes and goes. It's random when it shows up and is pretty sharp causing a good limp. Knee stuff is getting old. I have all of strength and stability and this randomly happened. No sports or anything to cause it. I stopped by the PT who rehab my right knee and they weren't sure wjat the issue is but did all the test to make sure nothing was torn. Just hope a born spur hasn't developed and causing issues. Walking is over rated at the moment.

I'll be a bionic person by the time in 50...lol.

Well no surgery for now until i break something else.

Well the arthritis in my knee is flairing up. It's been about 20 years since my first knee surgery  (33 years old) and is now causing issues. They shoved a cortisone shot in it.

The distance between the femur and tibia is not what is suppose to be. The bone is not all that smooth either. So in about 10 years, give or take I'll be due for a new replacement. You would think I would have been a paid athlete with all of this.

 I have also broken an arm, fracture my arm, and tore a ligament in my right foot. I graduated high school on crutches because of the torn ligment. Graduation night my foot hurt so bad. With that gown and crutches I almost face planted coming down the stage steps.

Power out at the lake since noon, trees down, yayyy.

Had power the entire time until 6:15 this morning.  Just a few limbs and leaves.  I drove to the gym at 4:45am and power was out on starting at Canton St. and all the way down Woodstock St. to Crossville Rd. where power was on.

Driving to work there were some lights out in Sandy Springs but about 90% good.  We had a delayed opening until 10am but I had to get our Help Desk up and running.

My Commute home yesterday was a pain. Hydroplaned 2 times and slowed down to 45mph. Lots of idiots out, (me included) some with out lights on and the Blinky light idiots. Only saw about 4 truckers on I-20 between 6 flags and East Atlanta.

We still have power at the house but internets and cable are out. East Atlanta got hit hard in some area's with multiple trees down, a few on houses. I suspect this is the case across most of Metro Atlanta. I had a few limbs down but thankfully nothing hit the house or kayaks.

Work sucked....... We ran so many BS calls for sheepeople that shouldn't be allowed to own a home. If you can't figure out how to move a bradford pear tree limb from your driveway and have to call 911 you should have to turn over the deed to your house.. SMDH.
We did run a few "real" calls and for the first time it seemed like the people we dealt with didn't seem to feel entitled to our service and were gracious and thankful. When someone shows grace, humility and thankfulness I will go way over and beyond the call of duty.

Thankfully my family didn't have it too bad. The power went out last night around 8:00 and was back on around midnight. Didn't loose any food from the fridge so overall things were good.

If anyone needs help with anything today just let me know.

Update on the generator. 

No power at the office this morning so worked from home and called the guy that serviced it and went and got him.  Fired it up, put it under load, and it shut down after about 10 minutes. He agreed it was starving for fuel. Removed gas tank, flushed, blew it out, swapped out the filter for another new one, and she runs like new.  Powered the entire house tonight for 40 minutes with 2 a/c units on and an electric stove that really sucks some juice.  Lucky me again, he wouldn't take a penny.  He'll get a gift at Christmas just like Ron at Rons Driveline.

In-between bringing him to the house and me getting home tonight, Linda and I took Daisy to Marietta to get her staples out and she is doing great.  Has to wear the cone of shame a little while longer. 

And then we decided we needed to go the lake and clean out the refrigerators and freezers since the power has been out over 24 hours with no idea when it will come in, maybe a week they say. So we headed from Marietta to the lake.  Wow are there a lot of trees down.  Irma cleaned out all the weak trees. 2 coolers from our 2 and grabbed a cooler of stuff from cuzs freezer too... crab legs, shrimp, mahi.  Cleaned everything out.   A few trees down out of the way, no big deal, headed home.

That is why I changed my mind years ago about retiring at the beach.  We're going to the mountains but might have a small condo at a beach somewhere.

Well, we missed all the Irma excitement, been in Kansas City , got back to Atlanta Wed night, picked up my jeep from @Allsouth Autosports  new wheels look great, rear axle fixed, im set for Harlen.   Headed to Nashville this weekend to see the inlaws and pick up their F150 , 1999 with 80k miles, my son is buying it from them, its also my Mother In-laws Bday 91, so I need to fan the flame of caring son-in-law.  as crazy as she is, she has alot of wisdom to share.   

Son was home during all the wind and rain, lots of branches down, ppl across the street had a tree fall in their front yard across their driveway and they could not get out, he and another guy spent the day after it was over clearing it for them.    glad everyone else seemed to make it out ok.   glad to be back in GA.  nothing beats Southern Friendlyness.  every time i leave the south, im amazed how much i miss it.

My nephew asked his mom if he had to say Sir and Ma'm? His mother said he didn't have to  because they were from the Midwest. I told him he'd better learn to if he wanted a decent job. I guess I was just raised differently.

Looks like Sunday for power at the lake. 

A lineman from Arkansas took a big hit in Ocilla and is in the Augusta burn center in critical condition.  His crew did all the right things getting him down and passing medical personnel resuscitated him and saved his life.  Hopefully he will recover.

Well damn it's not my water heater.  I've lost a leg of the 240 to it between the box and the heater. 

Never had a rat our mouse at the lake that we've seen, do have chipmunks in the yard.

Wonder what chewed it and where and why it worked before Irma and not after.

And found a drain leak in an exterior wall so I'm going to have tocrrour down thru the bottom of the cabinet. 

And the ac condensation is leaking under the house. 

And a guy from PA wants to come get my boat next week.

Eliminated that possibility by measuring voltage on each wire after exiting the breaker, 120, 120, and 240 cross.

Well turning the 40 year old main off and on killed it, or the bus bar connections to it.  It's not happy.  Didn't want to touch this panel before I do the tear down in few years as it's wasted $$ but going to have to do something. 

I have a temporary fix I'm working on today.  Can't even get to the leak and the water heater wire yet

And did I mention I went home at lunch to let the dog out and grab the nautique file for the guy trying to buy it and the condensation pump flooded some of the basement, house was plugged, and had a leak where it goes thru the outside wall.

I asked Linda what I did wrong.

Post by: clark123456 on September 23, 2017, 12:50:25 PM
I went to Summit to get some parts for swapping from the Airtex fuel pump to the Walbro. 

A couple of months ago I did the same thing, but managed to screw up the order and had to do two separate returns.  Luckily I had discovered the issues in the parking lot, so I didn't have to drive back down for the returns.  The first return was put back on the credit card, so I assumed the second return was too.  But later I discovered they never returned to money to my card.  I looked at the receipt and noticed it stated "cash refund", which I never received.  It was only $12.75, so I kept forgetting to call them about it.

This morning I inquired about it while paying for my new purchase.  The front desk person said they can look back at the video tape to find out what happened.  She called a supervisor who said they would look into it and give me a call.  I figured the girl who handled the return had pocketed the cash, but when I received the call a couple of hours later, the lady said they had an overage that day for $12.75.  She also said they normally automatically send a check, but since they hadn't they would put it back on the card.

I figured it would be much more of a PITA, plus they gave me no attitude.

Great outcome!

Evis sanitation manager position is open again.

At Wayne farms I was an evis supervisor and I have hung chickens a few times and that sucked. We ran 8.25 pound birds at 140 birds a min with 6 hangers. Miserable. More power to you on that.

Hanging sucked balls..... I only did it for a couple months until something else came open. I think I left there back in 2010. It's been a while. Just got tired of the drive, commuting from dacula to Athens every night. Left there, and got started with subway.

There is a buyer for everything jeep. 
$500 asking for stock and working TJ axle.
Some gear ratios are more popular and desirable and easier to sell.

Tripp I'll move these and start you a thread.   It's a great place, been many times.
Make sure you do all of Pearl Harbor, hike to Diamond Head and go to the macadamia and pineapple plantations, and the biggest luau you can find!
The best food you will find is the bbq off the road far out of town.
Hope you are doing Maui and riding bikes down the volcano after sunrise.
Dont wast your time on the beach there. Too much to see.
Enjoy!!

Went wheeling Saturday afternoon. Buddy has a JKU, dana 44s, 5.13 gears, rcvs, and 42" TSL. He got buried pretty deep on a pretty gnarly hill, and while winching broke driver side rcv. Funny, we all thought the 5.13 pinion would have been first. He had enough pressure on that tire that it blew the beed as well. We think it broke at the splines, waiting for him to pull it.

He could have twisted the shafts a while back and over time it took it's toll.

When shafts are new, draw a line on them.  It will show when the twisting is starting to occur. They naturally twist anyway and return.

Broken shaft, and a pic 30 or so min before the break. The dirt is from the side of a hill he scrubbed up. It is possible the break is stress related from prolonged abuse haha

keep us posted on your knee and your dog (she's a great dog).   

Ally had surgery to remove 3 fatty tumors on her belly and one on her front leg(on I guess what would be her wrist). Vet called and said she did well. Won’t see her till end of next week so hoping she’s healing well. Will be checking in with vet periodically.  Thanks for your thoughts.
Glad to hear she came through the surgery well. They can be amazing with how they bounce back (much better than humans). I'll be thinking good thoughts for her recovery.

After I spent 2+ hours lifting. Jeep draining air. And then check each one in a criss cross pattern.  Some still get lose.  Not sure why?   Since then I have just been checking the torque before I drive.  Some will turn about a 1/8 or 1/4 before the 25lb click occurs.  Strange

Guy wants it and willing to pay top $ for it. I've never kept a boat more than 5 years until this one, usually 2-3 years, and flip. 12 years with this one. It's been a great boat for the girls and their friends. Time for a change.

Definitely will buy another boat.

Sailboats cost a lot to maintain. Bottom Job every 5 years $3000 Constant Teak maintenance for exposed wood, Canvas, lines, too many maintenance items to list. Slip payments $200 - $600 + a  month depending on length, it adds up. And just like the Jeep, they require an emergency fund. I miss the Days when my boat was small enough to fit on a trailer and dry storage was only $50/month. Jeeping and boating gets expensive. You pick your poisons, I guess.

Yeah, we have a contract on a house in Woodstock so I don't need 2 Jeep's. New construction farmhouse on a little over an acre. No hoa. We won't be moving into it until spring 2019 but we had been looking for a while and this was exactly what we wanted.  Once my daughter finishes high school in May 2019, we will sell our current home and then be in the Woodstock home full time.  Once we take possession in Nov, I'll be moving all my jeep gear and trailer to the new location.

Ok...Trial of the century in 60 to 90 days.  I elected to get the bench trial.  The prosecutor wouldn't do anything. 

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk



The saga concluded today with a dull thud.

The court had scheduled my trial to be held on October 24th.  About a month ago I was told, "You need to go to a vendor convention in Phoenix", by my boss.  So I booked my travel for departure on October 22nd and return on October 25th.  I had completely forgotten about my court date. 

I realized the conflict a little before Harlan, so while I was in Harlan I called the court to reschedule the trial.  The clerk said, "We normally don't reschedule due to work conflicts, but send me some proof and I'll take it to the judge to see what he says."  I sent her my travel plans and information about the convention.  She called me back the next day and said they wouldn't reschedule it.  I had asked if I could still just pay the ticket, and the clerk said I could  (whew, I wasn't going to be forced to go to court).  So I had a decision to make:  Go to the convention, or go to court.  The convention will be fun, but I really wanted my day in court.  I elected to go to the convention. 

Today I went to the courthouse to pay the fine.  I went there to ensure two things:  1) I could pay with cash so I wouldn't have to pay the $25 convenience fee; 2) I could ensure my name was removed from the trial docket/schedule, so a bench warrant wouldn't be issued.  Number 2 was more important than number 1.

I met with the clerk, ensured she pulled me from the docket/schedule, and broke out the wallet to pay the fine (still $225).  She looked at the ticket and said, "Do you have a CDL?"  To which I responded in the negative.  She said, "And he wrote you a ticket for a left lane violation?"  I affirmed that statement.  She said, "I've never seen a non-CDL get this ticket."  I said, "Yeah, the law is very unclear, which is why I wanted to have a hearing."   She said she knew her husband had pulled a trailer in the left lane before.  She told me to hold on so she could go talk to the judge, since he was in the building. 

She came back and wouldn't smile, nor frown, as she stood near some other lady at a different desk.  It turned out that lady was pulling my record.  When she came back to me she informed me that the judge wouldn't change the ticket since the officer knows more about this law than him!  However, she said if my history didn't come back without 5 DUIs in the last 3 years, then they would allow me to plead "nolo contendere", but I would still have to pay the fine, I just wouldn't get points.  Then she told me that even if I had gone to court, I would very likely have had to still pay the fine.  She said, "Even if we reduce infractions to help with points, fines are never reduced."  So, it's all about the money. 

She looked at my driving record and said, "you like to drive fast, don't you" and "you had a problem in '96" (that one sent me to jail for a night).  I said, "Yes, Alabama always gets me with speeding".  Then she said, "and a ticket in 92, oh, one in 93, and...the 90's were a bad driving decade, huh?"  I said, "Well, the 2000s weren't great either!"   A little nervous laughter later, and she let me plead NOLO and just pay the fine.  Hell, it would have been only 1 point.

So, I made the right call to just pay the fine, and go on the boondoggle.  What I learned was, next time I'll request a jury trial.  The whole point of having a judge is to JUDGE whether the law applied to me, not to default to the officer's 'knowledge' of the law...WTF???  Sure, a jury will freaking hate me for making them listen to such a petty case, but I have a better chance of getting a true judgment than with the actual judge.

Judges back up officers pretty strongly...which explains why all of these cops get away with murder of innocent, unarmed black men.  I saw it in 3D today....well, something pretty close. :)

Judges back up officers pretty strongly...which explains why all of these cops get away with murder of innocent, unarmed black men.  I saw it in 3D today....well, something pretty close. :) 

I would probably get an attorney next time.  They can appear on your behalf and a lot of time the ticket is say $200 and an attorney is $250 to make it go away. 

Halfway through I was wondering if you spent another night in jail.

Solid statement Don, as much as i dislike most of them, thats what they do best.   most cops try and do the right thing, but like anything else, u have  groups that think they know and are having a bad day and u just rubbed them the wrong way and the are out to get u.   sorry u went thru all of that clark. it sucks.

That is cool Don.  Definitely not going to get rich, just a fun experience.

It pays $80 for the day and it is only for tomorrow.  I sent in my information this morning.

I was an extra in a commercial for EarthLink when I worked there.  The director asked me to read for an on camera spot.  I was in the commercial for about 2 seconds but since I was "directed on camera", I got paid SAG rate.  I received royalty checks every quarter for 18 months for a total of $17k.  About 10 other people that I worked with got the same deal.  The extras got about $100.

Interesting day yesterday.  I didn't go to LaGrange.  They wanted me on a local shoot for a new Hugh Jackman movie about Gary Hart.  I was a reporter at a press conference (filmed in Marietta).  I was in the front row sitting down and it took practically all day to do a single scene.  I was 2' from Hugh Jackman in the scene and should be on camera no matter what angle they finally choose.  I don't get star struck so it wasn't a big deal.  I was amazed at the massive logistics that it takes to make a movie.  Also, the actors do put in real work.  I'd really like to be behind the scenes to see how they film fight scenes.

I’ve done extra work before - specifically athlete / football roles.  It can be fun but don’t expect much money.  Ga is not a SAG union state so the wages are low.  Prepare for looong days.  For each scene you can have multiple takes from multiple angles.  Each time the crew changes angles they have to move all the tents and equipment so it could be 30min+ between takes.
I don’t mean to sound overly negative but just want you to be aware.  Like anything else it’s what you make of it and it can be a lot of fun and a cool experience.

I was an extra on a show back in the 90's. It was fun, got on TV but no money to be made. Just cool to see how it all works. The part that got me was the set is dead quiet and you can't talk but you have to make it look like you are talking. They dub everything else in. Funny.

What defines "middle class" to you? 

I've always thought I was middle class in America need on my income (not my obvious low class personality and lifestyle), but I'm beginning to wonder if the politicians think I'm not, and thus want to tax the crap out of me with the new tax plan.  Mitch specifically isn't willing to guarantee that my taxes won't go up with Trump's plan...if I am middle class.  I figure if you make less than $1 mil per year and over $50k per year you are middle class...what do you think?

Drudge linked to the New York Times yesterday where I read this:

“The Times analysis defines the middle class broadly as those earning between two-thirds and twice the median household income, or about $50,000 to $160,000 per year for a family of three.”

I personally think the upper limit falls in between their $160k and your $1 MM.

I heard on a commercial that Disney is running a ticket special. $96 per person per day for four people. Got me thinking.

Upper class goes for a week and stays in the Disney property and never thinks about the bill they're racking up.

Upper Middle Class goes for 4 days and stays at the Marriott Courtyard in Orlando. Keeps on eye on expenses.

Middle Class plans and budgets the trip at least a year out. Goes for 2 or 3 days and stays at at a Hampton Inn. Free breakfast at hotel, small lunch and chain restaurant for dinner. Keeps a very tight budget on the trip and may have to leave expenses on a card for 6 months. 

Lower Class - not going to Disney.

I ordered fiber to the home from AT&T last week, and they are installing right now.  My contract with a major cable provider just ran out, where I was on their business plan getting 10mb down for $69.95 per month (unlimited data).  Now I'm supposed to be getting 1GB down (unlimited data) for $70 per month, since I get a ten dollar discount because I have directv service.

Install isn't complete, but here's a light test image:

You may be eating those words if net neutrality is ended. Unless you want the governments input on what you see online.



Wikipedia :
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.[4] For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

Which meant netflix (who championed neutrality) who has bandwidth-sucking HD content would be treated the same as your grandma's recipe blog.

"Neutrality" was devised by billion $ corps to protect their brands and pad their bottom line, not to protect consumers. Now that comcast/att/et al can change their pricing structure, expect more competitive rates and spending on internet infrastructure to to increase, and all while smaller startups can enter the market and compete directly with the providers

The commission’s chairman, Ajit Pai, vigorously defended the repeal before the vote. He said the rollback of the rules would eventually benefit consumers because broadband providers like AT&T and Comcast could offer them a wider variety of service options. His two fellow Republican commissioners also supported the change, giving them a 3-to-2 majority.

“We are helping consumers and promoting competition,” Mr. Pai said. “Broadband providers will have more incentive to build networks, especially to underserved areas.”

Mr. Pai and his Republican colleagues have echoed the comments of the telecom companies, which have told regulators that because of the limits to their business imposed by the rules, they weren’t expanding and upgrading their networks as quickly as they wanted.

“There is a lot of misinformation that this is the ‘end of the world as we know it’ for the internet,” Comcast’s senior executive vice president, David Cohen, wrote in a blog post this week. “Our internet service is not going to change.”

These critics of Mr. Pai, who was nominated by President Trump, said there isn’t enough competition in the broadband market to trust that the companies will try to offer the best services. The rule changes, they believe, give providers incentive to begin charging websites to reach consumers.

There are pros and cons to getting rid of net neutrality, and they affect big and small companies.  The big ISP companies can shutdown, or hinder, big and small content companies that compete with their own big content providing sister companies.  The big content companies can buy their way into ISPs so the big content companies get  competitive end user results compared to the big ISP content that would have been preferred without payment by the big content companies.  Small content companies will likely never grow, since they can't but their way in, and they are not big ISPs.  Innovation will occur for the purpose of controlling content and bandwidth, but not for overall gains in quality content or bandwidth. 

Consumers will lose with net neutrality; big conglomerate ISP and content companies will win with net neutrality.

The net has been neutral since before Obama. This has nothing to do with Obama. 

Cry me a river about the $1 increase in Netflix. I'm talking doubling or tripling cost and more so crushing any small players in the market.


There are pros and cons to getting rid of net neutrality, and they affect big and small companies.  The big ISP companies can shutdown, or hinder, big and small content companies that compete with their own big content providing sister companies.  The big content companies can buy their way into ISPs so the big content companies get  competitive end user results compared to the big ISP content that would have been preferred without payment by the big content companies.  Small content companies will likely never grow, since they can't but their way in, and they are not big ISPs.  Innovation will occur for the purpose of controlling content and bandwidth, but not for overall gains in quality content or bandwidth.

That is due to federally subsidized loans.
Slightly incorrect regarding net neutrality before it was law.  I know for a fact that some internet services were inhibited by ISPs, and in fact, net neutrality stopped some of those actions by ISPs.  I won't discuss details here, but catch me near a fire with a beer in my hand and I'll tell a story.

The reality is that net neutrality, health care, health insurance, taxes, and many more things are much more complex than a few paragraph post on a forum can cover, and than simple comments like, "get the government out of it." will actually address.

Higher Education cost hasn't increased greatly, but the amount paid by the consumer of the higher education has increased greatly.  The value of most higher education still outweighs the cost of the higher education, regardless of who pays for it.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Ah I didn’t catch you said Healthcare and not insurance. I’m all about insurance right now as I’m trying to get a small group plan together for the shop and is pisses me off that everything has went so out of sight. But to answer your question yes I do know the difference. I may not be as well spoken as some but I’m not an idiot.

Yeah, my first attempt, that i didn't post, was very condescending, but I figured I would do a test with the one I posted, and if you couldn't recognize the difference I would be wasting my time with any further discussion.

I didn't think you were an idiot, but not everyone recognizes the difference.  I think one of the members here had a good point a long time ago (maybe Tony?).  His position was, as you get older, you cost more to maintain and break down more often, so your health care cost will increase disproportionately compared to inflation.  Or something similar to that.  I think the same should apply to health insurance cost, but I presume the difficulty in managing the individuals makes it easier to manage within margins.

Now, I know that my company homogenizes our insurance cost, because a person age 32 pays the same as me at age 43.  I think my costs should be higher than even the average 43 year old since I don't manage my weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, or other risks; I will cost more to maintain than most.  Oh well.

This will be the 3rd year my health insurance premiums haven't went up. Luckily my vehicle insurance was almost cut in half thanks to AJ. Funny thing is the last place I had cut my old insurance almost in half too.
It pays to shop around.

Lucky. For me, ashley and saydee we paid 1200 a month this year w a 3250 deductible and 7500 max out of pocket total. 2018 they will be 1300 a month deductible of 7350 per person max out of pocket for family is right at 22000. Sometimes you can’t look at it in terms of how much it went up but instead what you are getting. All you guys with employer provided insurance better count your blessings bc being a small business owner and worrying about all this sucks.

According to CNN the internet was suppose to end yesterday.   I guess no one will see this post.  :(

You may be eating those words if net neutrality is ended. Unless you want the governments input on what you see online.



Wikipedia :
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.[4] For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

Which meant netflix (who championed neutrality) who has bandwidth-sucking HD content would be treated the same as your grandma's recipe blog.

"Neutrality" was devised by billion $ corps to protect their brands and pad their bottom line, not to protect consumers. Now that comcast/att/et al can change their pricing structure, expect more competitive rates and spending on internet infrastructure to to increase, and all while smaller startups can enter the market and compete directly with the providers

Until Netflix has agreements with telecom companies to prioritize it's traffic so your netflix bill goes up to pay for that as well as it takes you 20min to get grandma's recipe blog becuase she can't pay for the prioritized traffic tier.  This is all a sham to make telecoms more money and it will NOT make things cheaper for the consumer.
Netflix just went up anyway, prior to net neutrality being repealed. I have a hard time believing that competition will somehow create this massive ISP conglomerate monopoly that's going to slowly jack up rates and box all poor people out of the internet. I also have a hard time believing that anything king Obama touched will somehow benefit me at any point. My health coverage continues to rise in cost and I was just informed that I'll be forced to cover an extra 10% of my health expenses......

To be honest, I don't know. But that's not where my frustration lies. Before this whole thing began, I paid a little more to have a "Cadillac" plan. Once everything went into effect, the "regular" plans that I was offered cost even more than the Cadillac plan I had and have progressively covered less and less. I don't work for a company with a health plan, and every time  I've looked into it for us, we don't have enough employees for it to be cost effective. My out of pocket expenses are through the roof, I'm just looking for some sort of relief.

The FCC vote transferred ISP/internet regulation to the FTC.  Until we see what regulations the FTC comes up with the Net Neutrality issue is much smoke and little flame. 

One thing is pretty clear from recent events.  It's easy to get everyone in the minority party to be against anything.  Getting a majority party to agree  on anything is a lot harder.  Seems Rubio, Lee, and Corker got sweeteners on the tax bill just like Nelson and Landrieu did for the ACA.

I'm not sure you understand how what Rubio is fighting for works, or you make much less than I think you do.

He's fighting for a sliding scale for those who don't pay at least $8k in federal tax.  I don't know the income amount required, but I suspect it's around $32k for a family.

Edit: that's for a breeder family with 4 kids...it gets to much less for those who have less children.

I suggest you take another look. I’ve been gathering quotes from all the big companies and you can do it for as little as two employees and even save a little money while getting better coverage. With that said I’m gonna go back to not reading this thread. Y’all have fun and I will see you wheeling.

The FCC vote transferred ISP/internet regulation to the FTC.  Until we see what regulations the FTC comes up with the Net Neutrality issue is much smoke and little flame. 

One thing is pretty clear from recent events.  It's easy to get everyone in the minority party to be against anything.  Getting a majority party to agree  on anything is a lot harder.  Seems Rubio, Lee, and Corker got sweeteners on the tax bill just like Nelson and Landrieu did for the ACA.
Was Rubio fighting for the poor man that already doesn't pay taxes?
Yes

I'm not sure you understand how what Rubio is fighting for works, or you make much less than I think you do.

He's fighting for a sliding scale for those who don't pay at least $8k in federal tax.  I don't know the income amount required, but I suspect it's around $32k for a family.

Edit: that's for a breeder family with 4 kids...it gets to much less for those who have less children.

Sorry, a bit of dry humor. I really don't know what he was holding out for. My brother tried to explain it to me in legal jargon and it just sounded like" blah blah blah, someone will be getting more in their tax returns than they paid into taxes for the year, blah blah blah" I just want some sort of tax package to pass, main part of the plan that affects me is the lower rate for pass through business. Means I can finally demand a raise after 5 years of waiting. Woohoo!!!!

According to CNN the internet was suppose to end yesterday.   I guess no one will see this post.  :(

You may be eating those words if net neutrality is ended. Unless you want the governments input on what you see online.



Wikipedia :
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.[4] For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

Which meant netflix (who championed neutrality) who has bandwidth-sucking HD content would be treated the same as your grandma's recipe blog.

"Neutrality" was devised by billion $ corps to protect their brands and pad their bottom line, not to protect consumers. Now that comcast/att/et al can change their pricing structure, expect more competitive rates and spending on internet infrastructure to to increase, and all while smaller startups can enter the market and compete directly with the providers

Until Netflix has agreements with telecom companies to prioritize it's traffic so your netflix bill goes up to pay for that as well as it takes you 20min to get grandma's recipe blog becuase she can't pay for the prioritized traffic tier.  This is all a sham to make telecoms more money and it will NOT make things cheaper for the consumer.
Netflix just went up anyway, prior to net neutrality being repealed. I have a hard time believing that competition will somehow create this massive ISP conglomerate monopoly that's going to slowly jack up rates and box all poor people out of the internet. I also have a hard time believing that anything king Obama touched will somehow benefit me at any point. My health coverage continues to rise in cost and I was just informed that I'll be forced to cover an extra 10% of my health expenses......

My understanding is it doesn't actually rollover.  It can be used after the end of the year but only for expenses incurred during the year they were withheld for. It's a use it or lose it deal so finding ways to use it is smart Clark.  Even back to January, missed submissions you paid out of pocket can be submitted. We have a dedicated debit card that makes it very easy to manage. Maybe everybody does?

"No. According to the IRS ruling, “The carryover of up to $500 may be used to pay or reimburse medical expenses under the health FSA incurred during the entire plan year to which it is carried over.”

Don't tell Laura I said so, but I think she's not 100% correct!

I believe the confusion comes from the three different capabilities of FSA (not to be confused with an HSA):  Old rules, 2.5 month rule, and $500 dollar rule, plus some additional sub-rules, depending on who administers your FSA.

I am on the new rule that allows $500 'roll-over'.  The government allows $500 to roll-over, and my FSA administrator allows $500 to roll-over.  I do not have a debit card :(

This website is a good read to understand the nuances in the options for FSAs:  https://fsastore.com/learn/fsa-grace-period-500-rollover-2498881802.html

You are correct. Changed for 2014.  I never heard this that I recall so I belief we kept the grace period instead. It's one or the other.

Effective immediately, employers that offer FSAs that don't include a grace period will have the option of allowing employees to roll over up to $500 of unused funds at the end of this plan year.

An employer cannot offer a FSA carryover provision and an FSA grace period at the same time, officials said.

For nearly 30 years, employees eligible for FSAs have been subject to the use-it-or-lose-it rule, meaning any account balances remaining unused at the end of the year are forfeited.

Effective immediately, employers that offer FSAs that don't include a grace period will have the option of allowing employees to roll over up to $500 of unused funds at the end of this plan year.

An employer cannot offer a FSA carryover provision and an FSA grace period at the same time, officials said.

For nearly 30 years, employees eligible for FSAs have been subject to the use-it-or-lose-it rule, meaning any account balances remaining unused at the end of the year are forfeited.

Switch to an HSA if you can.

Not the best for everyone. 

For a low medical cost single guy it is probably by far the best but every program is different. 

In our program the HSA comes with higher individual and family deductibles and max Out of Pocket so the FSA with lower OOP max limits and higher benefits is a much better deal in that case.   Company even gives $2000 to cover most of it too but many expenses you can use the HSA for don't apply to the deductible so you can be out of $ and still well short of the deductibles/OOP),

The HSA plan moves the middle ground risk to the individual and raises the threshold for the plan to kick in 100%.  Costs you less if you don't have expenses, more if you do.

All depends on your plan and what your company has set up but my HSA has no rollover issues, I haven’t paid a dime out of take home in 3 years and any costs have come out of my HSA which this year is 18% up on investments.  I have ~10k in medical expenses this year and my HSA covered the $2500 deductible with almost completely investment gains.  I’ve had FSAs in the past and this is way better for me.  In 2 more years when I have 5 years and fully vest, I’ll have another 20k+ nest egg instead of $0 I’d have from an FSA that I clear out every year.
All of the above is great if your employer gave you an option. My city moved to an HSA plan four years ago and made the PPO plan so expensive that the HSA was the only real option. Pair that with a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and welcome to spending $6000 of your own hard earned money every year. Good news is you get to start with a new bill of $6000 every year. Get diagnosed with cancer, be put on disability and not be able to earn your normal salary and see how that goes for you.... Thanks Obama. Before the "affordable healthcare" plan I had a $20 co-pay and only paid $80 a month for insurance. FML.

My daughter went to a friend's house last night, and their dog (supposed to be locked up but wasn't) bit her hand and calf.  On advice of Kaiser Permanente online nurse, we took her to their Kennesaw hospital where she's in bed getting pumped with antibiotics and with her hand suspended upright to protect the tendons.  Hopefully she'll be released tomorrow afternoon.  Dog bites get infected pretty easily, so if it happens to you don't wait getting it treated.

Hope she gets well soon, those bites are terrible.

Our 2 female dogs got into 2 different fights. It's the kinda fights they are not gonna stop until one of them is probably dead. The first time I broke the fight up I had my left hand bit on the top and bottom side. I couldn't close my hand for almost a month and then didn't have grip strength for well over a month.

The second time I decided to use my foot to attempt to step on someones face. I stopped the fight but I have lasting bite marks in the back of my right calf and on the front shin. Both hurt like hell and require doctor visits. My wife stands there yelling at them and growing up with bird dogs, I know that will not work. When I was a teenager our 2 male German Shorthairs got into it. Grabbed the collar of one and sure enough my finger was bit. To this day it have a numb spot on that finger.

I succeed in breaking up fights but I always get bit. I would avoid it and if you ever see one in person and like your dog, do something about it because one will not live and vet bills are not cheap.

From what I understand, 14s are 10.5, newer sterling's are 10.5, and older sterling's are 10.25. Didn't know newer 14s were also 11.5, but either way, it's a yuge bitch. I'll get more pics once they're final welded and under the jeep

Update on my daughter for those interested.  After one night in Kennesaw she was transferred to Northside and underwent surgery on her hand to remove some infected pus.  Even after massive doses of antibiotics the infection isn't completely cleared, and she is still at Northside.  We are hoping she'll be released on Thursday, but will supposedly need to wear a PICC for a couple of weeks.  Other than being bored, she's seems to be doing OK and is anxious to get back to work.

Wow x2! Crazy. Hope she fully recovers.

Just got back from Costa Rica where a captain had to be flown to Miami to treat staff infection in his leg caused by a pregnant spider bite and they thought he might lost his leg. Good news is he is doing better and looks like no leg lost. Yeah I know, comes from a pregnant spider, not sure what kind.

@patman there is 5 of us on the boat. Pretty simple boat. Not flying a spinnaker in this fleet. Also have electric winches instead of traditional crank winches.
We should be in Key West by Thursday night or Friday Morning. 28-36 hours.

Can confirm, 75% of ORI LJ is over 200% suckier than my stock JKU on ride comfort.
That’s a lot of math.

What's up with the broken ORI?

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

It won't compress all the way to 5/8" chrome showing.  I bled both chambers and it still had probably 2" of chrome showing. 

I think you were behind me on the way back to the cabins the last day.  Every bump I hit there was a loud ass bang when it bottomed out.  No cushion at all...

I watched a few videos on rebuilding an ORI and it was a problem that was brought up.  Once I realized I was just going to send it back for service I stopped worrying about what internal component was causing the issue.

Yeah, I remember the few stops on the ride back...I also imagine the transmission mount not being attached on one side made a few noises...Lol.  I hadn't associated the noise from the trail with the belly pan at the time, but now it makes sense.

I'm just not convinced the ORI products are getting better with age.  Danny hasn't had a single issue.  You, me, John, and Scott have all had issues.  Do coilovers have this many issues?

I don't think the belly pan was contributing that much.  We could feel the jolt on every relatively small bump.  I can't imagine how the pan could cause what we heard and felt.

And clearly we all just wheel harder than Danny does...

I was thinking the belly pan may have been bouncing (due to the strut issue) and then it was slamming against the frame.  Idk...no biggie, since you're going to fix both issues.

Recently I realized I have gotten tired of driving the truck to work every day.  The Camaro is a great ride, as long as the top is down, but when the top is up it's a terrible car to drive.  So I started looking for a commuter car, but I wanted it to have lots of bells and whistles, and a soft ride, and a fast engine...oh, and big enough for my fat ass to fit into without a jar of Vaseline.  New cars with those features are incredibly expensive!  $40k is the low end, and the really nice ones are 60k+.

Kell spied a Buick LeSabre for sale:  1998, 56k miles, $2500.  I've wanted a ghetto sled for a while, but that car hardly fits any of the other requirements.  This morning I saw the car and took a look at it from the outside.  It seemed legit, plus for that amount of money, as long as it lasted a year, I wouldn't really lose any money.  Tonight I got a better look at it, and it wasn't as pretty as I thought.  I've moved on, for now.  I think I'd rather have a Crown Vic.

I can empathize Kent.  We just went through a similar scenario with Joanne's parents.  They were living in FL with no family near them and they are in their mid-80's and their health is declining.  The decision was reached that they needed to be near family and long story short, we found them an apartment at a new facility here in Johns Creek.  It's been stressful on our home life as we got them settled and it seems like there is always something that comes up each week.  It's comforting to know they have help available on site should they need it.  Hang in there with your Mom.

Parents getting older is tough. I’ve seen it with my dad especially over the last few years. He recently found out that his prostate cancer is in his lymph nodes so he is doing hormone therapy for that now. He still works every day though and I feel like that helps him stay sharp mentally.

I did something similar, but it sounds like Kent's mom has better stuff than mine.  My mom is not adjusting well.  I'm not having to come out of pocket, yet, for living but if my mom lives 5 more years, I'll start carrying some of the costs...and shorter if she goes to memory care.  I currently pick up a few hundred dollars a month in supplies and such.

You can't imagine the costs until you start to research it, then it'll blow you away.

Kent's mom is lucky she raised a good boy with a good job.

80s? Get ready to drag some diffs.

Thats what i said. Hes only found 1 company that even makes an aftermarket diff cover, and ballistic quit making shave kits since they only ever sold like 2 of them. I wonder how much lower they are than a 14b?

What’s the ring gear size in that 80?
11.5"

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Most 14b’s are 10.5 right?  I think some of the newer ones are 11.5. 

That’s a big chunk

From what I understand, 14s are 10.5, newer sterling's are 10.5, and older sterling's are 10.25. Didn't know newer 14s were also 11.5, but either way, it's a yuge bitch. I'll get more pics once they're final welded and under the jeep

cleaning the garage as we speak. We made an offer on a house so it's time to get ready to move soon. Bonus.... The new house has a 4 car garage and is high enough for a lift to be installed. Hope they accept our offer!

Dude, that would be awesome! We missed out on a house (offer got accepted as we were walking through it) with a 3 car and room for a lift. With a huge yard. It's the one that got away. Good luck.

We made progress on the garage. I have a neighbor that offered space in his dumpster, so no excuse. Also took the Jeep out and tried out the new top. I had to push it out and jump it because it's been so long. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180219/5a604fe7d5316ad5707cd9b15f9c92fa.jpg)

I was still poor and in college or just out of it when Apple took off.

Kelly (My wife) had a conversation with her dad in the mid 2000s (04-05?) with her reasons why Apple will become huge and he should go for it, back when it was peanuts. He was daytrading sizeable amounts at the time, and an investment then would have been early retirement for him and neither of his daughters having to work now.

Hard to have a conversation with him about the market now without reminiscing about the would-have's and should-have's lol

Trump saw all of your hateful posts on here about him and hacked the IRS to keep you from seeing any benefit.

And to stay on topic, I'm seeing about a 5% increase per pay check with no other changes to my withholdings. Speaking of, I need to change those. Somehow when my daughter was born, neither my wife or I ever changed our dependents to include her.

If it weren't for McCain it would not be worth watching. We watch a few minutes every day at work. I love to see how they spin the news to make our President look bad. Funny thing is that he doesn't need any help!!

Don't taunt me, punk.

Here's the thing, I knew I was breaking the law by speeding and not tagging the vehicles, so I'm going to pay my fines and move along.  I was truly shocked when he told me I was doing 85 mph in a 65 zone.  I am appreciative of him adjusting my speed.

And yes, I am special and unique, just like the rest of the snowflakes out there.

Insurance rates go up?  Get rid of a kid?  401k rate increased?

I bring home roughly 58%.  I contribute 6% to 401k, ~1% to a company charity, and another percent to insurance, extra long term disability coverage, FSA, etc.

Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: Blue J on February 26, 2018, 08:43:28 AM
Seen this before but always a good read.

Some rules to wheeling

1. Never take your wife wheeling AND forget the toilet paper.
2. Always blame your spotter.
3. A taller lift and larger tires will temporarily lower the driver’s IQ.
4. Never own more than one Jeep at a time.
5. All mud, no matter where it is in the world, smells like ass.
6. And the worse the mud smells, the greater the likelihood of you having to climb out and pull cable.
7. When someone says that you are standing in their line……..move!
8. Conversely, when I tell you my rig is going to be where you are standing in just a second…..it is.
9. “Just bump it a little” is not a phrase understood by most people. Get the hell out of the way.
10. Repeat after me…..”Honey, if I can just get this one last part, the Jeep will be done”.
11. The Jeep is never “done”. Anyone who says that theirs is, is lying.
12. Never lock a D30.
13. Never lock a D35. And btw, there’s no such thing as a Super 35.
14. Set up your winch remote BEFORE you need it…..Dumbass!
15. Tevas are not suitable footwear for wheeling.
16. Don’t forget the bug spray.
17. Oops is not a word you want to hear from your mechanic, your Doctor or particularly, your spotter.
18. Yes, your rig is going to get scratched. If you have an aversion to this, stay home. Better yet, buy a Honda.
19. One man’s definition of a stocker run is not necessarily another’s. Take a look at the person’s rig for clarification.20. Extreme depends on your point of view.
21. Stay far, far away from the “hold my beer and watch this” crowd.
22. Never wheel alone. And never forget your winch remote in the barn……..ever.
23. Never, ever spot for your wife or girlfriend.
24. Whatever tool you need, just stop looking now…..it’s at home in the garage.
25. No, I will not run the winch for you. I will stand behind a tree out of the line of fire.
26. If you enjoy standing in the rain, up to your knees in mud, getting eaten by mosquitoes the size of small birds, all the while tearing up hundred dollar bills, you’re going to love wheeling.
27. Have proper recovery points, because if it means me not missing dinner, I will rip the front axle right out from under your rig.
28. When someone is decent enough to tell you that you can’t make a particular obstacle (see #33), do yourself a favor and listen to them.
29. Windows and top up and AC on does not make you a pussy. It makes you smarter than they are.
30. The primary uses of the CB radio are to heckle your friends and to decide where you’re going to eat and drink after the run.
31. Turn the damned CB off when you go into the restaurant however so that I don’t have to jump your rig.
32. Anyone with a programmable horn should never be allowed to wheel with you.
33. Just remember when your “friends” are “encouraging” you, they all have their cameras out.
34. If you don’t think it’s a good idea, it probably isn’t.
35. Never wheel with Subarus.
36. Momentum can be your friend but speed almost never is.
37. Avoid people who think that money can buy talent.
38. If someone says, “just bounce it off the rev limiter”, bounce something off their head.
39. Never discuss politics, religion or tires in polite company.
40. If the person in front of you does something stupid, you are under no obligation to make the same mistake.
41. Money and enthusiasm does not make a wheeler. Stay far away from the highly enthused noob.
42. Gas up BEFORE you arrive at the trailhead because next time we’re leaving your dumb ass.
43. Never be enticed by the phrase, “that line has never been successfully done before”.
44. Always check actual retail price of Jeep parts BEFORE you buy something on CL that looks like a good deal.
45. Never buy gears or tires used.
46. Be very selective about who you will let spot for you, VERY selective.
47. Washing transfer can ase parts in the dishwasher is very effective. Just don’t get caught.
48. Discretion is always the better part of valor.
49. Never make a bet that will cause you to have to wear a dress on the next run if you lose.
50. When your wife tells you not to do something……don’t.
51. Never make banjo sounds where the indigenous population can hear you.
52. Always use the valet cart to move your doors into your room at a five star resort.
53. A guy wearing a “Trail Guide” shirt is, in all likelihood, no smarter than you are. Witness the fact that I own several
54. Get in, sit down, hold on and shut up.
55. Addendum to above. When I panic then you can.
56. Glazed donuts make great hamburger buns.
57. Gas prices rise along with the size of your rig.
58. Breakdowns are exponentially more expensive the bigger your rig gets.
59. With very few exceptions, leave spares home. You’re not going to have what you need anyway.
60. Exceptions include belts, hoses and u-joints.
61. Speed costs money. How slow do you want to go?
62. When wheeling with a large group, always try to be near the front of the pack. Trust me.
63. When someone says, “trust me”, run and hide.
64. 35s will not fit on your Libby. I don’t care what the tire store told you.
65. Don’t take your doors off on a muddy day.
66. “Trail Rated” does not mean what you think it does.
67. It doesn’t mean what Jeep thinks it does either.
68. One spotter at a time. The rest of y’all can STFU!
69. Self explanatory.
70. Life is too short to drink cheap beer or to wheel with assholes.
71. After three unsuccessful tries, pull cable.
72. Any more than that and the rest of us will encourage you to do something really stupid.
73. Wheel while you can because the vocal minority wants the keys to your rig.
74. No one will get a picture of you conquering the unconquerable, but screw up just this much and everybody gets it on film.
75. The camera never does justice to the terrain.
76. Ignore the moron with the junkyard refugee who says that you never wheel.
77. Just buy the ProRock 44 and be done with it……life is too short for major projects.
78. A TJ frame in the Northeast is rusted. I don’t care how good it looks.
79. The next new Jeep will be a disappointment to enthusiasts also…..get used to it.
80. Never attend a wheeling event with the intention of just watching. It never works out.
81. Air down.
82. Put it in 4WD before you think you need to. Don’t be “that” guy.

Got to play with my new toy this weekend.

Everything except big rocks, they are stupid fun. You can upgrade these things like a jeep except they leave off the angry grills and such.

There are more places to ride them in GA than a full size rig has acaliable. I posted a while back that they are street legal, but im not getting rid of my jeep or chassis. This is a mini version of my chassis in a way, just a lot cheaper.

Get up at 4:30am. Drive 42 miles to work in Tucker. No water for coffee, restrooms, fire protection, etc. mandated office closure. Everybody there told to go home. Drive 42 miles home. I'm sure I can find something to do. nap?

same...although my commute is about half of that.

One of our buildings is out of water.  The other building has a storage tank but who knows how long that will last.  All the places to eat are closed due to the water issue.....

That water main break looked pretty wild on the news this morning...

I was lookin at news after readin Tony mentioning the “water” issue yesterday morning post so looked it up; this is crazy stuff. I’m from Decatur / Scottsdale & remember how cruddy the water infrastructure was all the time in Dekalb.
Sorry y’all are dealin with that.
Hey; you can always count on the greasy , everopen blackNgold WH to remain open & try to still operate:

The only thing making my travel schedule tolerable over the last couple of weeks. 

Yoga pants (the great examples have surpassed the bad decisions to wear yoga pants).

There are 3 such good examples at the gate for my flight from SFO this morning.

That is all.

I went to my cousin's bachelor party this weekend. Awesome trip!! Due South charters. They took us out on 125' ship, then we went out on skiffs fishing during the day. Crew cleaned and cooked what we caught plus all other meals. Barely anyone caught anything for the first 1.5 days. Yesterday we did well. I won the biggest slot red competition on one of the trips out. (5 total trips). We ended up with around 10 reds and 120 trout or so and 2 flounder.  I reeled in 4 25-27" redfish, 2 bull reds, and a few that were too small (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/e5fd3b5c24031c1950c82a49a126759b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/90dc6c30ab4847b552580128c286bef3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/4e023509e6197f61ffad9d5a376bb762.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/6ac0a86a660a86453c30505589a189d7.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/74bb2242ec4d5b2172528c60d0bba1aa.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/bd64a5a0294bb050e40d79675f766da9.jpg)

I watched Jay totally fail to remove his front carrier so he could attempt to install some inner axle seals.  After that depressing sight, I went home and replaced my starter so I could get the jeep off the trailer.  It was a very frustrating three hour endeavor, but I eventually got it done, and the new starter worked!  It sounds so strong compared to the old one.

Now the jeep is in the basement awaiting new sound equipment installation, GMRS install, and maybe a new windshield frame.

Wondering what was going on  pre-Masters?

Today was the "Drive, Chip & Putt Championship" event for kids. Limited parts of the course open, but full concessions, gift shop, etc. I think some of it was televised, but not sure.

He’s a pro golfer.  Pretty damn good. Went to Ga Tech.  I’ve met him, very briefly, super cool guy.

how many of us play golf? would it be worth a once or twice a year tournament? maybe even a Golfing for Reid - ish thing? I was super into it through school and am getting back into it when time allows, I missed it. We have several pretty cool courses up here close.

Sadly I live on the 14th hole and have never played (ever). But I'd definitely be down to try. Maybe we could set up a smaller game or tournament then go from there if we think it could turn into something bigger. Is anyone interested in setting this up?

Womens clubs. Kids are still too long, and I need a softer swing to compensate for my poor form

I'm assuming you use 2 regular clubs welded together?

I used to golf all the time...played 1 or 2 times a month.
A co-worker and I came in 3rd at a best ball tourney.
Usually shot in the low 90's, best day ever I played 2
rounds on my 40th birthday. I shot a 79 and a 81.

Now it's been 7 years since I last played though.
Still have my custom clubs and would be up to it.

I do have a long drive trophy from a company tourney.

New shoes for the truck this morning. I got 40k miles out of my set of Trail Grapplers with regular rotation. 

Replaced them with 35x12.50R20 Ridge Grapplers.  Still have a nice aggressive MT sidewall look but the AT tread pattern is so quiet. The truck feels so smooth now.  And the bonus is these are F rated and run 80 PSI so the TPMS is happy again and no more low tire warning.  Happy Friday.

Good time to remove those spacers. You shouldn't need them for clearance, and they just add to the stress seen at the ball joints and hubs

Depends on his backspacing.  Can't remember his numbers.  JK stock axles are thinner than tons wms.

Shout out to @Allsouth Autosports  @Danny Kinder   and the techs for working me in.   Apparently after 80k + miles i finally blew the pass Hub Assembly.  it was hanging on barely, we think the brake caliper was kind of holding it together.  however, the rotor was toast.  looked like someone took a grinder to it.   

The caliper was still in good shape, but the rotor was blown as was the pads.   the driver Assembly hub seemed good but u could hear a slight start of it to make noise, and catch. signs that failure is not to far behind.   

We went ahead and replaced the other rotor and hub Assembly so every thing is balances.  OCD, maybe but at least i know things are even and 100%.  drives great, breaks actually work, i was struggling to stop this morning as i arrived at Allsouth.   

I did not have them remove the spacers, slipped my mind until i was home.  maybe i will do that nxt time i rotate the tires.

Thanks for working me in, getting this fixed.

@tcdawg
Was making a noise, and it suddenly got worse, really bad.  it had not fallen off, but appears the caliper was helping hold it on.  just glad i got it fixed. .

@patman
I did not see your post until they already had it assembled, but the tech also mentioned back spacing.  i asked him about the extra pressure stress and he said unless you wheel hard i should be ok. but felt as if with the 37's i may have inner rubbing when turning that i may not expect.  i said nxt time i rotate the tires i may remove one of them, and see if i have any rubbing, i will make the decision then.  but thanks.  i understand what your saying.

Forgive me for a moment. Proud Dad moment.  For all you Dad’s out there, it’s nice to know some of the things you taught your children about stick.

Eric just moved into a new apartment and on Fri evening around 10pm he got a blowout in the driver rear tire while towing a U-Haul trailer. He was on 575 at night.  He got pulled over and called the police so he could have someone there with bright lights to keep things safe. While he waited for them, his friend Ethan and he got the spare out of the back and got things ready. The officer actually commented that he was impressed that they changed the tire on their own (apparently not the norm).

The Discount tire certificate paid off and he had a new tire on it on Sat and he stayed safe doing it.

Going to Wilmington, NC for most of the week and wife decided she wanted to rent a car to drive. It was $250 to rent the jeep for a week.

Car show in Woodstock Sun morning.  For a good cause.  States that Off road Mafia Jeeps will be crushing cars. 

I’m probably going to check it out.

It was a pretty good turnout overall.

The most interesting part of the day was this recovery.  This guy in the XJ decided to crawl the cars and got stuck. One of the off-road mafia guys in his “beast” on 54”s tried pushing him off from the front with his front end.  The guy in the XJ ended up having his driver side entire knuckle come off. The bottom and top ball joints came out of the knuckle and he snapped his front axle at the ujoint on that side.  The only way to get him off the car was for them to call this crane wrecker (which was an awesome rig).  Entertaining.

Run 37" on 2.5" of lift is sweet. Accutune is almost done with a bolt in coilovers option, no mod necessary. There is an option for frame mods that gets even more travel from them. So far they have spec'd their own coils and valved fox shocks to match.

Think about a punkn 4 door rubi.

I think the inner panel is removable, so you only have to add something from Artec or metal cloak to hold the lights.  That may be possible on all models.

We love ours. In my opinion, the biggest upgrade over the JK is the 8-speed ZF transmission. Ours has the 3.6L Pentastar motor like the later model JKs but this new transmission makes it feel like a completely different vehicle. It’s actually got some spunk and is fun to drive. One other benefit that the transmission provides is no need to regear if you up your tire size. Most of the JK owners on here will tell you that they had considerable loss of power when moving tire size to 35s and definitely 37s and needed to regear to make it bearable on the road. Mine is still on the stock 33s so I can’t speak personally but have seen many reports that guys running 37s are very happy and say that although they rarely see 8th gear anymore, they dont notice anything different in the road habits. These have all been Rubicons with the stock 4.10 axle gearing.

Some other items to note:
Magnesium rear swing gate: supposedly stronger.
Aluminum doors are lighter.
Rubicon’s have different which essentially end up being 2” higher than that of the Sport and Sahara models. THE Rubicon fenders are inline with the hood and the Sahara/Sports have 2” of metal fender between the hood and the flare.
Rubicons can run 35” tires stock, no lift, and can put a 35” spare on the tailgate with no mods. 
Can run 37s with 2” -2.5” lift. Can put a 37” on the stock tailgate with a relocation bracket to move the tire up so that it clears the rear bumper.
Rubicons also have 2-piece fender flares where you can remove the bottom portion for a little more clearance. This is what a lot of guys are doing with 2.5” of lift and fitting 38s or 40s. It appears that this was Jeeps shoutout to the JK fender hack mod. This appears to be a little cleaner than some of the JK Dremel work that I’ve seen.

NO CD PLAYER. 😳 lol

The UConnect 4C with the 8.4” screen is actually pretty sweet once you get to know the system. I can pull up live weather/radar and forecasts directly from UConnect and not even using my phone.
Apple Carplay works pretty well. There’s videos out there that will teach you how to get all the apps from your phone to appear on the screen instead of only the Apple or Google-approved ones. So if you prefer Waze to the Uconnect/GPS maps, you can get those on there.

The stock Rubicon axles have a few upgrades over the JK version. The “next generation 44s” on the Rubicons are noted as Dana M210 (Front) and Dana M210 (rear). They have thicker tubes, beef’d up steering linkage, re-worked gearing which results in the teeth of the pinion gears being shorter and stronger, and the axles are 2.5” wider than the JK 44s.

Axle Widths:
JLR = 68”
JLS/S = 66.5”
JKS/S/R = 65.5”

I like the JL and they definitely had the enthusiast on mind or finally realized so many people mod Jeeps.  I've run 37s on my JK with 2.5" lift for a year but have MC Overline fenders. Just went to 3.5 to get the undercarriage up a bit more. I have more travel than I can use.

I'll bet that 8 speed trans is sweet. The only thing I don't like about the JL are the ugly front fenders. I hope the aftermarket comes through with something cool.

Let me just say that if you get serious about buying one, I researched for about 6 months before pulling the trigger and I found 6% below invoice is best price that I’ve seen. It ended up being 11% off of MSRP.
So if that 51,000 price tag was cut down to $45,000.... would you feel better?
Also, the destination charge from Jeep has gone up by $500 twice since January. So a 2018 JL is now $1,000 more than it was 6 months ago. Not to mention that the base price will likely get a hike for some unknown amount with the 2019 model year. So tell your wives that you’re saving money by buying one now and just go get it.

I’m about to save you 3,400 bucks:
Don’t get the:
1.) Steel Bumpers (front one is nice and well designed. The recessed winch mount is cool. But the rear bumper is not very impressive. Save the $1300 and put it towards a nice pair of front/rear after market bumpers.
2.) body-colored fenders: $400 - you’re gonna scratch em. Gross.
3.) Body-colored hard top. If you just go black, you get a thousand bucks back.
4.) Optional Wheels: If you’re not going to keep ‘em, why upgrade? you can sell the stock Rubi wheels and tires for $1200 to $1500 to sport/Sahara owners that are looking for them and they also fit JKs. You can then put that towards beadlocks and 40s.
5.) did i see the premium soft top on there? I’m kicking myself for not getting a softop. I let my salesman talk me into LEDs and steel bumpers and talk me out of the dual top group. I regret that. The new soft top is sweet. No zippers and the safari feature on the rear is just cool lookin’.

Going to a JL really depends on where you are with your current rig and the end game you're heading towards.

For me, the there is the enough new about the JL that would benefit me offroad. I'm better off moving forward with my JK.  That would include dropping in an LS.

If I just wanted a driver for the road with some bigger tires, or just starting a new build, hell yeah, I'd go for the JL.  I think the aftermarket is still 2 years away from a full selection of high end mods.

4.) Optional Wheels: If you’re not going to keep ‘em, why upgrade? you can sell the stock Rubi wheels and tires for $1200 to $1500 to sport/Sahara owners that are looking for them and they also fit JKs. You can then put that towards beadlocks and 40s.
5.) did i see the premium soft top on there? I’m kicking myself for not getting a softop. I let my salesman talk me into LEDs and steel bumpers and talk me out of the dual top group. I regret that. The new soft top is sweet. No zippers and the safari feature on the rear is just cool lookin’.

No way I'm wheeling a new JL Rubi!   lmao

Don’t get the:
1.) Steel Bumpers (front one is nice and well designed. The recessed winch mount is cool. But the rear bumper is not very impressive. Save the $1300 and put it towards a nice pair of front/rear after market bumpers.

There are emergency access points with metal side walls that can be lowered. The FD has been training for months now on contingencies and pre-planning how to deal with it. The short answer is if it's bad enough they will place their engine on the main HWY next to the wall and cross it with an "A-frame" ladder and go to work. As for getting the damaged vehicles out, the wreckers will use the access points.

I figured in a worst case scenario they may just go the opposite direction of the traffic, since it'll likely not be flowing at all.

IF they didn't have the access points it would be a real long run going the opposite direction.

Just took it from Cartersville down to terrel mill.  Plenty of access points and it’s wide enough to push cars over and get around if needed.  Bad enough accident would definitely hose things up though. 

The thing I really didn’t like though is when the overpass goes really high,  I swear it feels like it’s only a 2-3ft concrete wall that if you hit it for some reason you’d just go right over and drop 50+ft. One of our lifted Jeep’s would definitely ramp over it.

Nope Jay is setup now.  Those coilover angles are set to fly right over if he hits a barrier.

It’s not going above 60 that scares me but how fast it gets there. Things get real shady when you let off. 4 link this winter should fix that

So let’s say someone is on the new reversible lanes in their Jeep and they lose control and are headed toward the low concrete wall.  Would it be better to have ORIs to soak up the impact or coilovers?

So when the big Wreck happens, and its gonna happen, will they be flying a chopper in? or do they have a crane on standby?
There are emergency access points with metal side walls that can be lowered. The FD has been training for months now on contingencies and pre-planning how to deal with it. The short answer is if it's bad enough they will place their engine on the main HWY next to the wall and cross it with an "A-frame" ladder and go to work. As for getting the damaged vehicles out, the wreckers will use the access points.

Thats great for the divided highway but what about the Flyover sections? I'm thinking Sky hook on helicopter.

The Bay area coming in from Walnut Creek area absolutley sucks. 30 miles takes 1.5  hours in the mornings and atleast 2 hours going back in the evenings and that's on good days. And that's not even going all the way into the city. I stopped at Treasure Island.

I used it yesterday...it should be beneficial for everyone, at a minimum it's 2 new dedicated lanes made with concrete, so maintenance should be low and speeds should be high.  Cost is the biggest concern for me.

DC Metro area is like my second home and it can be horrid.  The difference though is it is 6lanes of traffic bumper to bumper whereas Atlanta is like 8-10lanes.  Neither are moving though. 

I was in Boston couple weeks ago and I will say their traffic wasn’t great but their drivers are so far the most commonly f’ing insane I’ve seen. If there is room, you’re getting passed even if there is no lane, even if it’s grass. Got passed on the right median of a tight yield merge onto a highway.

The strongest winds in a hurricane are usually found on the right side of the storm because the motion of the hurricane also contributes to its swirling winds. Rain and flash flooding and downed trees will be a major concern. We may see a few tornado's spun off depending on wind speeds.

I went through Frederic in 1979 in Pensacola, FL  and although we were 5 miles inland we still had a lot of damage due to winds and a tornado.

As somebody who used to work for Jeep, I can say that they would not stop production of the 2 Door simply because of the uproar it would cause from the enthusiasts.

The 4 Door does far outweigh the 2 Door as far as sales numbers, but I have actually seen a good many 2 Door JLs in the last few days. As long as they keep selling they will produce them. 22% production doesn't seem like a lot, but Jeep makes a good bit of money on the 2 Doors because they cost a great deal less to build verses the 4 Door, but they only sell them a couple of grand cheaper then the 4 Door.

i think; it has a goofy "sport cage" that is more appearance, from what I have seen. But, yeah; it is a molded line thing. I would build/have built an actual cage that looked like that but had a halo over top. This is long term but pretty conf change. I am lookin at a CL welder at moment tryin to bring guy down.

I agree.
I have seen it on one of the annual sales for a bit over $4k , which is still pretty costly. But, material , half doors , the top fiberglass work & 1 piece panel, carpeting , bed, etc...all that added up to do ones self would be at least that much.
I dunno. I’m just over this cookie cutter JK 4 door. I saw over 35 4 door JKs at my kids baseball park Sat. Even tho mine is very crawl oriented ( & that’s al she’s for) & built right “ down there” , I would sure like to shorten her cab & lose about 1000lbs somehow. Everybody and their mom drive these 4 door JKs. The rest are tryin to sell them. Ugh.

sometimes it's better to be cookie cutter than be the broken cookie. I wouldn't leap to do anything just to be different but I know some folks would.  I personally think it's a fine line between ugly and beautiful when you start doing some of this and the fake toobs, half converted doors, it's skirting that line.  I've seen a couple look good though they took more work.

Easy conversion. 1/2 cab top & rear door fillers. Is that it?

i think; it has a goofy "sport cage" that is more appearance, from what I have seen. But, yeah; it is a molded line thing. I would build/have built an actual cage that looked like that but had a halo over top. This is long term but pretty conf change. I am lookin at a CL welder at moment tryin to bring guy down.
 this kit aint cheap ; might be cheaper than the possible damage that a newb fabricator like me tryin to do this to his JKU as a first big project burnin metal (It'd take me a bit to save this -nearly rediculous https://dv8offroad.com/collections/jk-conversions/products/hammertruck-conversion (https://dv8offroad.com/collections/jk-conversions/products/hammertruck-conversion) -kinda bread-up.
There is a cool JKT conversion goin on on jkowners ...guy is converting to a truck & is good with his MIG

Check out this guys JKU conversion. I follow him on Instagram and he has been through a few changes on that Jeep. He is selling it now incase you just want a turn key one ton jeep.

sometimes it's better to be cookie cutter than be the broken cookie. I wouldn't leap to do anything just to be different but I know some folks would.  I personally think it's a fine line between ugly and beautiful when you start doing some of this and the fake toobs, half converted doors, it's skirting that line.  I've seen a couple look good though they took more work.


I agree & that's really good advice.
I , too, have seen that thin-line of which you speak; when crossed hastily , the target jeep winds-up being ruined .

Fwiw, I am beyond pleased w the JKU I have - performance wise- built myself. I've begun lookin at that " next" phase ,tho. I'm sure you've been there , likely way before me w/the JK . My trail riding 'wants' are beginning to exceed what I've  built so far. So, I have begun to consider tons & that will inevitably require beadlocks +meat for 8 lugs setup...we all know what that costs ..then, oh snap...how am I gonna b able to  move an added 1400-1600lbs when I gotta 3.8l ...let's look at engine swaps! - sigh-
At this point , I usually realize I'd be throwing money away that I'll never see returned , even if I found that one, unlikely buyer for a sale. Mine is so "me" no body would ever buy it, heh.

If i analyze this , I guess it's why I'm trying to find something that I can convince myself to just keep it but also to  put it even a slight step-away from every other well proportioned, capable black JKU.
 
 I guess I should be happy I got my "first phase" list all completed , be appreciative & just enjoy wheelin it as is ,huh?


Jeep therapy session ended , lol.

There's some good and some "yikes" on that Jeep.  For me, I'd plan on 5k over sale price to fix it up and that could be low - for me.  Others mights be able to get away with 1k over sale price to fix up to their desires.

wait.
that is Ludows "Black Widow" ; I recall that guy from another forum.
I , for a moment, thought it was the original black 4door redonkulousness that was this JKU:
https://www.jkowners.com/forum/modified-jk-tech-dept/53445-official-project-black-widow-4dr-jk-build-comp-cut-stretch-d60-70-44-tires-etc-3.html   [rolleyes]

I like the shape of the "cage" ( can any verify that would be able to save your head in a flop?)
However, the thing looks not unlike that conversion DV8 thing I posted "sport cage" with the capless, sketchy-ness seen here:
(https://i.imgur.com/Mg6k4ZV.png?2)

...plus, not that there is anything wrong with using the heck out of a Jeep but that kinda looks rode-hard & put-away-wet, ya know?
Just further testament to there bein'  too many black four door absurdities that have been around for too long ...I am down on my Jeep; I need a wrap or a drink, I think.

ah, now that I look further at that previous post - the "Black Widow" , I suppose it is not that bad. It aint $25k worth of not-too-bad & I will be curious to see if that sells.  The Jeeps stance sure is right ; i kinda look at it & wonder if that is what I am gonna wind-up with in 3-4 years.
I do have a thing for the JK Unlimited's that've been "converted' to long two doors.

Storm really tore the SW GA power grid up.

EMCs in Georgia are now reporting ~177,000 members without power.

Unlike recent storms, #HurricaneMichael severely damaged transmission assets in addition to distribution assets. Crews are discovering catastrophic damage to the electric infrastructure—the likes of which has not been seen in decades.

There are multiple high voltage transmission lines down as well as 68 substations out of service. With this much damage to both the transmission and distribution system, EMCs warn of extensive delays in total restoration.

A couple of EMCs have lost their entire distribution network.

Several EMCs in South and Middle Georgia are reporting 90 percent of their accounts in the dark, including MItchell EMC (Camilla), Oconee EMC (Dudley), Little Ocmulgee EMC (Alamo) and Colquitt EMC (Moultrie). Excelsior EMC (Metter) is reporting 50 percent out. Another co-op in Southwest Georgia (don't know which one) has estimated 400 broken poles.

My company coordinates some of the restoration efforts. To summarize the latest reports tonight:
1.3M outages at 8p tonight.
Nuclear plants unaffected. Hundreds of transmission lines are out.  That is what will take time to restore.
Tens of thousands of workers flooding into the areas affected.
I would expect everyone back up within days.

We were eating at a local meat and 3 yesterday and some of the local amicalola lineman were eating lunch. Someone asked why they weren't heading south and they said they had too many local outages to go down there. I looked at our outage viewer and there were 175 ish outages over their 4 or 5 county service area. A little later i saw on facebook where they were sending two trucks down. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

Just back myself from vacation.  2.5 weeks in Jordan and Egypt.  I'll have jetlag for the next week.

Petra did not disappoint, and the pyramids are solid.  Confirmed that you can't sink in the Dead Sea.

Egypt is for sure on my bucket list. Australia, New Zealand, and Japan are also on that list.

For those near the 575 corridor, there is a new steel supply that opened next to the Cherokee Couty Airport.

Had a great customer service experience with them and competitive prices. Picked up my new frame rails and what I need to make a new weld table.

Have to get stocked up on metal before the price increase in January.

Can you still move the shifter at all? You should be able to start from first gear and shift through the gears without the clutch. Just dont let the rpm get too high between shifts

Two things:
1) call Danny (are you a millennial?)
2) I would check clutch fluid level, and if low, look for a leak.  I'd be surprised if it was anything else, presuming it went from working perfectly to not working at all.  I had that happen on my yj, and recently John had it happen on his TJ.  You might be able to keep topping it off until you can get it into a shop for repair. 

Sorry about you having to miss the funeral...hopefully it wasn't for your wife's family/friends.

From talking to the retailer when I picked up the steel, they said they are seeing prices creeping up weekly now with roughly a 20% jump in the new year.

The biggest price jump he said was on chromoly, close to a 50% increase in some. Not sure while the big difference between mild steel and the alloys.

Thanks, Scott

I realized that I won't be buying massive quantities of stock this year ...I am gonna start with some sliders and some bracketry first . Then I will begin the DOM collecting for cage and some frame tie ins I've got envisioned...

So, maybe by time I'm ready for large purchase , the domestic furnaces will be back in swing & US steel will be as affordable as the imported presently is🇺🇸😉

I thought the second round of tariffs were iffy. Have they changed that to a hard yes?

I know rcv and a few other places will have a price increase the first of the year.

I’m not sure if it’s the second round of tariffs or some other supply issue causing the pending increase.

We buy steel and aluminum globally every day, and we're just seeing increases from U.S. converters but we saw steel increase many months ago.  They held off as long as they could with what was in the pipeline but now we are seeing the tariff effect on all steel and aluminum.

Title: Re: Morning Coffee
Post by: Blue J on December 17, 2018, 02:23:12 PM
Currently Aluminum and Stainless are holding but I have seen a sharp increase in Stainless and Carbon Steel pricing since June. My stainless supplier said that in June "it was the threat of the tariffs." Now, We are now experiencing the tariffs effects. With Stainless and Carbon Steel price increases far exceeding Aluminum. Many of the jobs I am quoting are detailed in steel yet they are asking for Aluminum because of the cost savings.

The kicker I am seeing now is when contractors ask for American made Stainless and then balk at the price because they had no idea it was so much more expensive. Even with the tariffs "import" Stainless is much more affordable.

What was the issue?

Danny removed Kent's gallbladder...both Kent and the Jeep are doing well and all fixed up.

That's what I gathered as well.

Now that I see Danny is capable of bio-mech work of a high calibre ( all respect to Kent & his condition) , I am considering inquiring about having a personal cage installed in me instead of adding all that weight to my JKU...  ;)

He performed the surgery via email and forum pms. Could’ve been done over the phone but that doesn’t make any sense at all.

Today was the first day I've traveled by air since the shutdown.  Every TSA person with which I interacted was polite and professional.

Many people say they support the border wall, and believe going without pay is their duty to secure the nation, because without a wall (or steel slats or whatever the dems want to call it) we cease to be a nation.  I am truly surprised, but facts are not facts.

I was in DC last week.  Pretty much a ghost town in the area near the WhiteHouse compared to usual.  I could get a table anywhere I wanted without any question.  We were the only patrons during the hour we were there for lunch at one restaurant that is normally packed. 

I bought a CLEAR membership in case TSA was having issues.  Clear is privately funded so I figured it might come in handy if TSA was backed up.  Total waste of $99.  TSA lines were shorter than normal and like you said, they didn't seem to have any folks complaining or any operational customer facing shortages. 

Another way to look at things -

I respect your opinion John but I disagree as well. 
Couple of points -
-While Billions sound like a lot to any of us, at Government scale the administration is asking for pennies compared to the whole budget.
-Trump championed the wall and is executing on one of the pillars of his platform.  It's nuts to have a politician actually follow up on a promise...
-Takes two to tango.  This isn't just Trump holding up the spending bill.  The Dems are at fault 100% as much.  This is all about the next election and giving Trump this win would be a blow to Dems and they know it.  It has nothing else to do with anything other than that.  The dems are happy to trade a government shutdown before letting Trump have a win.

If you're a security professional with border patrol experience I'm happy to listen. The execution of the wall is being engineered by the DHS staff who this is their job.  It is arrogant and foolish of the Dems to think they know better in their 15min looking at the plans than those that are professionals. Ever been told by someone who doesn't do your job how to do your job?

This.

I respect everybody's opinion but I also look at the facts. 

How can anyone say walls don't work or will do nothing? Existing walls on the border have made a huge difference. Walls work everywhere.  We have a huge $150-$200 billion a year problem funding illegals and $5 bil is a no brainer.

Obstructionist that will try to Stop trump on everything regardless.  I hope he doesn't blink.
The American people support border security.  The dems were for it before Trump.

The real problem happening is conflation of border security with a border wall, but it appears no one on either side really gives a duck.  Both sides had rather just agree to disagree than to actually debate the situation.

Everyone is for border security, exception given to a few liberal and libertarian folks.  BUT only some are for accomplishing border security with a concrete wall. 

The TSA workers don't seem to care if they get paid while the debate (LOL) rages.  I just hope my TSA experience is the same on Wednesday as it was today.

1. She wanted the house
2. Builder paid for the fence. They either lowered the sale price to offset it or paid for it outright, I don't recall. Either way, they paid for it

Younger daughter graduated GSU in December and starts first job in one week.  Now she needs a car to get to work, so she's been shopping.  Currently considering a 2015 Kia Soul that we test drove yesterday.  Bad news is that at 21 her insurance is going to be high, even with a clean record.  Got a quote from AJ today.  Good news is that she'll be off our Obamacare policy.

On another front, Friday we have some friends coming over to help drink a bottle of 1985 vintage wine I bought in 2000 and have had in the wine cooler ever since.  Never seemed to be the occasion to open it.  Penfold Grange from Oz.  If it's turned to vinegar we'll still have a good time.

So did anyone else see that they’ve now added a jeep competition to the winter X games? Complete joke of a course, but exciting that our hobby is gaining traction in the mainstream sports. Could help open up opportunities for more offroad parks around.

Hey, Kent is old (school) so he knows nothing can done in today's world without being in an office.

We closed our Buckhead office and told everyone to WFH.   The risk is not massive snow but now that everything is wet, there's a clock on how fast it can dry before the temperature drops.   If it's still wet that could be very dangerous.  You're probably good as long as you're off the road before the temperature plummets or the wind dries it enough before.

Be safe guys.

I’m in Austin today for a QBR meeting. The VP hosting the meeting placed his lunch order 3 weeks ago and surprised us with Franklins BBQ.   His wife picked it up and dropped it off at the meeting. 

Everything is really good, but the brisket is outstanding.  Hell yeah!!

I might have just been messing around on that one. 

I actually find what I know about the Virginia governor situation to be overblown, but I'd love for him to step down to put the LT in charge...that'll show 'em.

I hear there is more to the Virginia governor than just a bad decision 30 years ago.  I know I have changed a bit in the last 30 years, so I'm willing to believe others have too.  But if they prove they haven't changed, then I have no sympathy.

The Trinity Study assumed 30 year retirement invested in S&P 500 with 3% withdrawal rate for a 99% chance of your money surviving you based on historical patterns of inflation and stock market returns.  The 3% was adjusted according to the current value of the portfolio.  The earlier one retires, the longer the time in retirement and the more assets needed. 

If one is interested in moving to a foreign country, your retirement money can go further if you adopt a lower cost lifestyle.  But the same can be done in the US by moving to a lower cost state or city.

Those of you interested in the topic might want to join /r/financialindependence on reddit.  There are also related concepts of leanFIRE and fatFire based on net worth at retirement.

Been through the 75N to 24W split before, and recently. 

"The bridge collapse took place at the Interstate 75 North and I-24 West split, according to Chattanooga police. The railing from I-75 fell onto the I-24 ramp, according to the state DOT."

It's certainly caused a mess. Took me an hour and fifteen minutes to make it home the day before yesterday and an hour yesterday. Normally a 15 minute drive. Within a few hours of it happening about 15% of the appointments we had set for the remainder of the week called and cancelled. They have been talking about redesigning the split for a decade....I'm kind of hoping it will happen now. That place is the worst bottleneck in the state.

I was hoping it would be a catalyst to fix that intersection and a couple of miles of 24.  It's worse than New Jersey roads...which is really tough to do.

Went to the first ever Augusta National Women's Amateur golf tournament today. My wife and I watched a few holes, but we got a great spot on the 18th to see the last 3 pairs come through. We happened to be walking away from the hole at the right time for the winner and her partner who got second place to cross our path, and Kelly got a high five from both of them. Watch it on TV and look for the super pregnant lady at the end of the round haha.

We like to go whenever possible, but it was super cool to see this historical event in person(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190406/03e71ffc0aa79e8579d8509c2efde7ac.jpg)

I had not heard of this . Yikes!

As someone that has taken the ATL bound 24E to either 75 direction ( N75 takes me thru to get on Ga64 thru Ocoee to my mom& dad's in Morganton & 75S brings me & wife home to ATL/Marrietta) and just as many from ATL via 75N to Nashville via 24W , COUNTLESS times in 40 years , this corridor of interstates & connections for drivers is one of the scariest & dangerous ones in the country. The closest I've ever come to dying with my wife & kids was at this junction ,albeit headed South.

Every trip , I always look at the aging concrete , truck after overloaded truck & wonder wtf would happen if the old stuff gave out. That old ,long bridge that spans over Nickajack is same era & has been patched as much as an old span can be. This stuff is only going to get worse. This was Eisenhower's biggest fear for the country's infrastructure coming true.

Just read this today and scared the crap outta me

I still needed my off road fix so we booked this 3 hour ATV adventure while we are there.

We are also doing a doors off helicopter tour while we are there.


I also have a surprise for my wife, I ended up using some miles and upgraded all the flights to first class.  Looking forward to getting away.

A right of passage I was hoping to delay for a lot longer.  My 18 year old daughter had her first accident.  She had the green light and the right of way and a guy was turning left across her path coming in the opposite direction and had a flashing yellow.  He misjudged the timing and Sarah tried stopping but caught the right rear of his SUV.  His car ended up on its side (driver side).  Fortunately, no one was injured.  My daughter is pretty shaken up and has some bumps and bruises from the seat belt and air bag, but her car did its job and kept her safe.  With her graduation less than 2 weeks away she was very lucky and I am thankful for that.  The other driver got a ticket at the scene.  Now onto the insurance nightmare ahead... 


A pic of my daughters car at the scene before the tow truck took it away.

First, I agree...glad your daughter is fine. 

Second...since it was his fault, and your daughter has physical damage to her body, I expect the other person's insurance company will want to take care of you ASAP and get you to sign and cash the check quickly.  I know when I was in a wreck many years ago that wasn't my fault...they WAY overpaid for the car I was in that was totalled.  I would expect the same thing here.  Did the other driver have insurance?

Glad she is ok for sure.  I know you'll be smart about taking insurance money.  It's shark infested waters with insurance.  Make sure she is 100% healed up and gets all the medical - ortho, chiro, whatever she needs to be made whole.  That ticket when paid will be him admitting guilt/negligence if/when he does so if you/insurance have any issues.

Glad she is OK... we've been down this road, do not accept any offer of settlement...  get checked out, give it a few days, a week, make sure she is fine. 

Insurance actually doesn't want to deal directly with you if there is any medical claim.  i tried and they told me to get an atty, maybe because she was a minor.

Sign up with an atty, we can recommend one, Bobby would you recommend him too?  Then the doctors hang a ticket that their insurance pays, most insurance has an account that swiftly pays med up to $10k.

Glad she's not serious hurt.

My mom tapped some guys bumper at a red light & they got $60k from her insurance company. They said it was cheaper & easier just to pay off the asshole.
There was zero damage to either car.

Off topic, i just paid a 6$ fine to the peach pass  did not know i could not tow my dinky 5x5 trailer in the peach pass HOT lane.  lesson learned.   FL allows u to but GA does not.  girl was super nice, the fine was 26.xx  got reduced to $6.55  so not an expensive lesson.  but a lesson.
Did you get pulled over, or just an automated ticket?

I just saw your post, John ( 'been outta town) & glad your daughter is alright after one of life's tough lessons. Cadence is student driving right now so this is right frontNcenter for my mind lately.


re: litebrite and Jeep beach, I get the camaraderie  but to me florida and Jeeps just do not go together. Be it the saltwater, no rocks, sand , flatness and sun, for all it's fun I just could not get into the Jeep Beach thing other than it being like the caffiene and octane things many of you that live close enough go to except in Florida.

I have similar eye as you,Travis;   they seem to always revert to T/A in their vids to me . If they didn't their view hits would be in the hundreds , like all the other Jeep channel guys who don't look like Brittany, lol.

Still, they present JL stuff in a unique way so good for them if they're cool with it.

The writing is horrid because the writer of the books did not write the final season.
I have heard there are 3 Spin-offs coming out. So who knows....my predictions are
the imp gets beheaded and then Arya knife's Dani and Jon sits on the throne,
or Dani and Jon kill each other and Arya sits on the throne. I'm not sure about the last Dragon.....but maybe thats one of the Spin-offs "The Last Dragon".

Arya kills dani for Jon. Jon takes the throne and appoints sansa, arya, and tyrion to rule the kingdoms that are left.

Jon also finally builds a wheelchair ramp for bran so he can go inside.  ;)

100% agree.  Battle for Winterfell was good but could have been so much better.  Battle for King's Landing overall was garbage. Both thoroughly out shined by Battle of the Bastards. Clegane Bowl was decent but could have also been so much better.  Again out shined by the Viper vs The Mountain.  I'm going to watch Sunday but I don't really care.  There's no good ending anymore just reality that people do horrible things and good people get f-cked over.  Don't need to watch TV for that.

Way too much filler for an hour and twenty.  But I think it sets up Daenerys as going over the edge like her father.  It’s going to setup a show down because I think she is flying to Winterfell to take out Sansa.  Daenerys lost all support for anyone outside of her army and maybe most of them.  She will fall and the Stark bunch will gain control.

Don’t be surprised if HBO doesn’t set it up for a movie down the road.

The mother left Georgia with her illegally and was found in Texas.
Late Tuesday Judge issued the ruling so we left at 8pm and drove 16 hrs. Long story short with the presence of Killeen police department she handed the girl over.

Yes he was with me and drove about 3 hrs on the way there while I slept.

After we got Shelby we drove about 2 hrs before we got a room in Corsicana Texas. Left there at 7:30 am Georgia time. I drove the whole 825 miles back. Took us 13 1/2 hrs. Averaged like a little over 15 mpg. Drove 75 to 80 mph (hit 85 mph quite a few times)

And without trailer brakes...

Years ago, the official jeep website had a pic of a JKU towing a CJ with a wood deck trailer. I emailed and asked how they were towing something well over their stated rating. After a few emails back and forth they played dumb and locked the email thread link I had so I never got a response with actual numbers

I do agree that dude is a moron if he is really towing anywhere but maybe 1 exit ramp t the other like that.

(who are these folks with that no one in their vicinity says, " Hey, idiots; harness-up!" )

not to mention, aren't these SxS's all setup with harnesses that are uncomfortable to NOT buckle up in? I find those 5point/ 4 point buckles uncomfortable up my ass crack or jabbin my back in Rzrs I have been in.

No sir, but I offered it up, and set a requirement for passengers in my rig that a helmet must be worn at all times, regardless of whether the driver does.  That was the reason I bought it..no excuses for my passenger to be without a helmet.

I will also try to be more diligent in its use. There was a post this afternoon on fb for someone looking for a helmet recommendation after he flipped this weekend and hit his head on a rock, blacking out. No thanks to that

whats sad are the comments in the article stating they were drinking, which there is no proof of, they are really trying to stir some shit there.

we do like to have a good time, but safety and paying attention is at the top of this groups list for sure. i have no problem harnessing up or wearing that stupid looking helmet, its much better than the alternative.


From "new-ish" by comparison , member POV, you guys all think the helmets ( which I agree should be used) look goofy but , coming from many decades of skating & motorcycle use, I don't even notice them outside a second glance. They look like you're smart and hitting hard as crap obstacles is all.
The safety of this club is one of my main 'Pros' were I asked to list them . Keep wearing helmets. Heck, seein you guys w/ them made me want to bring both of my helmets , especially since my mall crawler is equipped w a 'Sport Bar' ....

What constitutes a hard obstacle for one driver/rig is completely different for another driver/rig. I have seen people who can't make it down the main trail without smacking a tree or a large rock and were completely sober.   My first trip to Black Moose everybody in the group I was with was talking about how hard this one rock ledge was and how more than a few people had rolled over and most had to winch up it. I hit the thing in 3rd gear never slowing down and never knew it was the "ledge".  So who makes the call on when you, I or someone needs a helmet?

You make the call generally, but in some cases it should be a group decision since others can get hurt if the driver gets knocked out.

I had the best brisket I have ever had outside of one I cooked myself( or was home cooked ).

Das BBQ on Collier Road.  Absolutely killer brisket.  A buddy had ribs and he said they were excellent as well.

I also had the brunswick stew and strangely enough, it sucked.

I agree with you!

We had 846 in our class (Maryland).  In 2015 we had our 35th in Ocean City, MD and probably 200 classmates showed up.  It was an epic time.  Having it again there next year and can’t wait for another great event.  FB allows a lot of us to keep up with each other but there are some that aren’t on FB and always good to catch up in person.

Have fun Kent!

That place is the jam. I used to live pretty close to it. Their BBQ was great but sides were mediocre. We used to get the meats to take home and made our own sides

I'm not terribly surprised on the Brunswick stew...what one person likes is not the same as someone else.  I like mine to be very BBQ sauce-y and chunky with very little okra or lima beans, others want it to be a tomato-based, watery veggie soup.

I thought the brisket from that place in Alabama was decent, but nothing compares to that crack Wes fixed, or Franklin's in Austin.  I was not impressed with Salt Lick in Texas...it was good, but not Frankin's level, or the brisket Jay's family delivered to us in Moab.

I'd like to try your brisket sometime, Tony...I don't think I've ever had it.

The sides I had we're baked beans ( 4 on 10 scale) , cornbread ( 5 of 10) & Mac&cheese ( 5 of 10) so ,by that, the place was meh mediocre.

I saw the new Blazer the other day.....
Maybe the Bronco will look better

I like it, but it isn't an SUV. 

With the Bronco, who knows.  I have seen some pictures /renderings / images that make it look awesome and others that make it look like a Ranger Sportrac.  I hope it ends up looking like this:

I read an article praising the 'camaro' headlights and the 'performance' of the blazer...I bet it doesn't perform any better than the new Explorer.  Automobile "news" folks are paid spokespeople generating fake "news".

Newer vehicles just do not have the character that the older vehicles did.
Everyone trying to have the newest future look to them. Take the new chevy truck front ends. Makes me want to barf!
That blazer has no beef to it. The vehicle companies think bringing back old names will make people want to buy the vehicles. Only thing it does is solidify how awesome the old ones were.
Dart, Charger, Supra, Blazer, maybe bronco? hope not...

I thought at 1st glance you were jokin' .
That actually IS  what is called a 'Blazer' innit? 
wtf
Ya kno, I was just making fun the other day of a Ford something , new model SUV that  - to me - looked just like the new Cherokee & the Hyundai SUVs that were around it &( on interstate w/ me in my '95 XJ in midst of all of these station wagons ,heh) during a freeway drive someplace the other day.
I said to myself, " ...sheez; Ford made that soccer-mom thing look like that Hundae SUV & they both look like bad imitations of that new Cherokee , which is a freaking Fiat...
all of these cars look the same!"


It really is sorta disparaging; not only are the generations after ours ( born after 1980ish) driving less & showing far less interest in automobiles but the generations after that one are gonna be the last to consume automobiles, I think. My kids, except for KKs interest in crawling & Jeeps , have no interest in driving or automobiles. I am trying ot pass my knowledge down but it is not readily sought. All I cared about at 13 was combustion engines and fuel.

Vehicles like that white thing are the demise, tombstones if you will, of the automobile as we know it.

I would have no issue with having 4 Tesla motors in my Jeep , one for each wheel. Yes; I am all about the future ,however, if it is following trends such as that 'Blazer' seems to be following aesthetically & probably mechanically, I want off the train cuz' that looks like it's bound for the darkest depths of despair-ville.

Nothing all week, just the immediate oww that hurts and itches for a day or two. tonight I swell and rash up, can’t breathe, throat starts to spasm shut so I get to the ER quick. Breathing treatments, steroids, IVs, and couple other meds and I feel way better.  Going to see an allergist next week.

from https://www.medicinenet.com/bee_and_wasp_sting/article.htm:

Delayed reactions are uncommon and occur even days to weeks after the sting. These reactions constitute less than 0.3% of all reactions to insect stings. The individual's own medical history and condition may play a role in determining whether delayed reactions occur. Symptoms can vary widely and may include inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), the nerves (neuritis), blood vessels (vasculitis), or kidneys (nephritis) as well as blood clotting disturbances. Serum sickness is a type of delayed reaction that occurs a week to 10 days after a sting and may cause itching, rash, fever, joint pain, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes.

Glad your ok. I get the same reactions from wasp and yellow jackets and carry 2 epi pens. I've learned to pop them immediately after the 1st sting. But that was after getting stung once by 6 or 8 of the SOBee's and swelling up but not having any reaction until I went to shower.

I spray and keep 2 cans of 25' wasp spray. One in the shed and one in the house. And if I see any ground hornets, I either sneak attack em at dawn with gasoline or call an exterminator.

Ah no worries bud.  I’m good. In the ER is just not the way or time you want to find out you’re allergic to something.

Still a little rashy and out of it but most swelling has gone down.  On the normal prednisone / albuterol steroidal cycles and seeing a primary doc today so hopefully these meds or whatever else he gives me will finish the job.

Was told to stay out of the heat so checked the ground hole nest yesterday evening and think I got them all but will pour some more gas down it tonight. Was reading up on some dust stuff to put down also and looking into that.  I’m all for nuking / napalming the back yard if need be. Just need to make sure it’s dog safe. Can’t ruin her bathroom too.

The power & water supply in this country is very vulnerable to attacks by terrorist.
If they hit key parts of the electrical grid, we could see some serious devastation. It takes months to build some of the specialty pieces.
If this took place as the summer heat hit, it would kill many elderly & millennials.

One of my worst fears came true this morning:  delta app stopped working! 

I had to print a boarding pass at the kiosk.  Luckily I checked the app BEFORE getting in the security line. 

I saw others using the app at the gate, but I still can't get logged in. 

In the future I'll be taking a screenshot of the boarding pass when I get one (early check), for every flight.

I've walked past the pilot of a Delta flight last year & said ," hello.." to which his reply-vapors which emmited from his mouth as he slurred a Dudly Moorish " ...shir..." back to me  was obviously  flammable from 10' away.
 I figured he was a pro & his copilot would probably hit the autopilot button that day.

Well I guess the JL/JT folks just dgaf about safety when it comes to doing it for the gram. Here’s a dude with a JT towing 10%+ over max weight rating cross country.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsVe2llerr/?igshid=17iwe09umt802



I Believe that's Greg Henderson. That may be DAF but he has some killer fab skillz.

https://www.instagram.com/hendersongreg/

That makes it worse to me - willfully ignorant. He should know better being more knowledgable about vehicles.

So been moving my mother in Nashville over the weekend and saw a local Jeep show in Millersville, TN.  I didn’t really want to go but the women wanted to stop for ice cream. As I was walking around I thought I recognized a white gladiator and white jku.  Didn’t put it together till I got home.  It was this guy.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFczfmhW_A/?igshid=v2rz61ol7zt7

He had lifted the gladiator so hopefully he decided not to tow with it again.  Didn’t see a trailer.  If I saw it hooked up, would cops enforce being overweight? I don’t want my mom driving curvy country 2 lane roads with that guy around when he loses control being thousands over weight.  I think we all push the boundaries and technicalities of the law but there’s a difference between safe and unsafe and risking other’s lives. I’m normally not a stickler but I consider that unsafe.

The stats put it in perspective.

How about 22 veterans a day commit suicide and nobody blinks. This happens every weekend in Chicago, where is the outrage?

I heard this morning that one of the gunman put his school on lock down due to writing a hit list and rape list in the wall of his high school. WTF kind of parents raise a kid like that?

If someone wants to commit an evil act, there is little law enforcement or the government can do to stop them. The tool isn't the problem, it's evil.

Man what is going on? I never hear about these.

CHICAGO (CBS)– At least three people were killed and 40 were wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago. There were two mass shootings overnight in Chicago — both in the West Side’s Lawndale neighborhood, including 22 people shot Sunday in less than four hours.

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/08/04/weekend-shootings-chicago-2/

BALTIMORE (SUN) - Seven shootings reported this weekend in Baltimore amid ceasefire call. As if in defiance of an organized plea against violence announced for this weekend, police reported seven more shootings — including at least one homicide — in Baltimore in less than 24 hours.

What I think you aren't understanding is that just because stats are what they are today, and I am not sure Neil's stats have been verified, doesn't mean the causes of the statistics shouldn't be targetted for change. 

Can you imagine how many deaths we'd have per day if we didn't have seatbelts, airbags, and other safety restraints in our vehicles?  Those safety items occurred because users of vehicles, plus governments, demanded them to exist.

Another point is while 'evil' exists, the tools used have vastly different death rates.  Society recognizes the distinction in tools available and impacts of those tools, and limits access to- or tracks purchases of- things such as bomb-making materials, tanks, RPGs, bump stocks, fully-automatic weapons, etc.

He doesnt have a solution, neither do any of the other candidates, they just use these acts as talking points to stand on, the Chicago and Baltimore stuff are just too common to stand on. You know what never get mentioned? Cross reference the shootings with the number of the shooters that were on medication, anti-depressants, etc, bet its 95% or better. I would also be willing to bet more than 75%, maybe closer to 90% of them either had priors, were on watch lists, or owned/possessed the weapons illegally. Im not even going to act like I have an answer to all of it, but the spoon is not what make people fat, Jack.

Mental and back ground check to purchase a gun would be a good start... I know, I know, I said it the last four or five mass shootings. Sorry to be annoying.
And this obviously won't solve all issues, but you gotta start somewhere

Not sure if anyone read the manifesto he published, but I found some of the parallels interesting. It's a sad state our country is in when people are so polarized in to the concept of party over country, that they think shooting up a Walmart is a real solution.

I realize some of these are a real stretch, but some of them are eerily similar.

You're right. Don't make any changes. The system is working great right now.

My opinion you should have to pass a test similar to drivers license testing. Maybe a test at the range to ensure you know how to use the gun properly and a short exam to ensure you're not a psychopathy. Quick background check and you're approved. Pass the test = buy as many guns as you want. It's that simple. Like I said, it won't stop all shootings, but you have to start somewhere.

Sorry, this is going to be a bit long.
The shootings suck and if there was a 100 guaranteed way of making it safe for everyone by removing firearms I would be all for it, but there isn't a guaranteed way. You just end up leaving guns in the hands of criminals and disarming the law-abiding people.

England took most of the people's guns and your average person switched to knives. Then they took away carrying knives. England passed a law not that long ago that pubs could only use some crazy type of beer mugs that break into super small bits because people were killing and maiming each other with the standard type of mug.  People will find a way to do bad and evil shit.


I work with all the different law enforcement folks in my county on a daily basis. The county has a population north of 105K and is 291 sq miles in size and has less than 100 POST certified officers in it.
In a perfect world that would mean 25 officers on patrol at any given moment covering 11.64 sq miles and protecting 4200 citizens per officer on a 12-hour shift seven days a week.  Unfortunately, some of those post certified officers are traffic enforcement, school resource officers, assigned protection duties to county/city buildings, detectives, drug unit or administrative types and never see a patrol shift. That dives the number of patrol officers below 25 on a given shift in a perfect world. Every officer that I have spoken to that has been around for more than a minute has said that they almost never in the right place to stop violent crime.

The average law enforcement response time for a violent crime in the county for this year is 8 minutes and 40 seconds.
The average law enforcement response time for a violent crime in the largest city inside the county for this year is 4 minutes and 39 seconds.
That is an eternity in a life and death situation.

I take the protection of myself, family and property very seriously and don't leave that up to someone else.

I dont think anyone has said "dont change, our system is working fine". This is where tempers flare and noone has been able to come up with a starting point to make things better because unfortunately, we all like to argue for some reason. All the universal background check stuff is already in play, you cannot buy a handgun without a background check, unless you have a CCP, which you have to have a background check and renewals to own. That is the only thing I can see that would be any different is a simple background check for any and all gun purchases, rifle, shotgun, ANY gun. Like anything else, if you are doing nothing wrong, then you shouldnt have a problem with it, I wouldnt. Not to say its a fix (they dont know where the gun goes when you leave the store) but it might be a start. Registration on the other hand may be an overreach, but in the same boat, if you're not doing anything wrong, then whats the problem? You have to register and be approved for class 3, so why not? Lemme put it this way, say you carry everyday, you are trained, you are competent, and you have to actually use your weapon in a defensive situation to protect you or your family. But wait, you bought the gun from your best buddy and you never put it in your name? oh shit, now you used a weapon that is for all the law enforcement know, is stolen. Jail time is coming whether is was legal or not, at least until you can prove the paper trail, oh wait, you didnt get a BOS? more jail time. Registration is a double edged sword when you really think about having to use that gun. Now I suggest you let that one marinate.

Mike the constitution was written in 1787, I think it's safe to say that we can ask people to take a course on using the weapon they're buying before they purchase. I never said "take guns away".

Actually you know what, don't ensure people buying guns are stable. Seems like common sense, but I guess I'm the crazy one here. I'll bow out of this conversation.  [deadhorse]

I'd argue that the 2 most recent shooters knew how to use their weapons.

Also, I believe if mental health patients knew the treatment would put them on a watch list, you'd see a lot less people who need help seek it. I'm not saying "dont do anything", just curious how to evaluate someone's mental state without knowing them and being around them for an extended time. The craziest person can convince a stranger they're sane for 30 minutes.

He doesnt have a solution, neither do any of the other candidates, they just use these acts as talking points to stand on, the Chicago and Baltimore stuff are just too common to stand on. You know what never get mentioned? Cross reference the shootings with the number of the shooters that were on medication, anti-depressants, etc, bet its 95% or better. I would also be willing to bet more than 75%, maybe closer to 90% of them either had priors, were on watch lists, or owned/possessed the weapons illegally. Im not even going to act like I have an answer to all of it, but the spoon is not what make people fat, Jack. I am all for a solution, but there needs to be an actual discussion by people who are educated ON BOTH SIDES to ever even begin to find a solution.

The solution can't come from anybody currently in office. Republicans and democrats are pushing their own agenda and neither has anything to do with whats best for the people.

So I am wondering if this thing can actually go 400 miles Off-road. https://www.caranddriver.com/rivian/r1t

I can't imagine replacing the batteries.

my best friend is in his 2nd Tesla . The mileage has variations of greater / lesser distances based on variables such as you'd imagine them being ; inclination, temperature, wind direction & velocity , etc...

so, averaging 400 miles would be tough if you think about those being on loose surfaces & sand or anything which traction slips during is going to affect mileage. I know he can make it in his model 3 from Mt Juliet to Cobb Galeria on one charge & still have charge to drive around. 3-4 yrs ago, in his modelS with same battery & motors , he would have to stop in Chattanooga to charge. So , they are getting the tech better.

we have all seen the Korean conversions of JKs to electric crawlers , right ?  It's the weight & the torque heavy drainage on the batteries that holds this back ...I fully expect Tesla to issue a truck that'll make this conversation moot in the next 5-10 years. Our kids kids will laugh at the stories of their great granddad's driving gasoline powered rock crawlers.


on your original question; I highly doubt that can go 400 miles on a charge off of asphalt .

From what I can tell, it seems to be mostly Korean engineers ( who must have caught the crawl bug , somehow) that have pursued this effort* . their channel:
https://www.youtube.com/user/snuelpl
shows a rubicon trip. ( I'm unsure wtf is up w/ the bad music in videos)


 Don't misunderstand my intent; I'm all about the internal combustion engine, but , I admit that sometime down the road , this is inevitably how rock crawling will be.
It's freaky being so quiet .


(*after driving multiple Tesla , I can say that the motors have gobs of the torque we love... immediately,too.
the 1st thing I said after my first drive was ,
" OMG. if I could get 1 of these motors on each 40" tire per corner it'd be unstoppable..." )

but then I was told that nearly 40% of the (heavy) Model S weight is  from the entire bottom being 1 big battery . It was then that I realized that battery weight will cause this technology to come to offroading , a little on down the road


batteries are so heavy , I'd bet that the 2door ,olive JK in video weighs at least 7000 lbs. Not our future but 1-2 generations from now....

Thanks for sharing.  I'm sure it may be the future, but I will be long dead and gone.  I can appreciate the tech aspect, but sounding like an RC car on the trails is not my thing.  The tree huggers might love them, but give me the growl of a real engine all day long.

Yeah, the growl can be too much...I wish Sam had dumped his money into an electric power source instead of that monster he has...goodness it's horrible to be behind him when lining up to hit the trails. 

Luckily he breaks off to take the bypasses.

Great customer service is hard to come by these days so I thought I would share a story that demonstrates what I consider to be an example of putting your customer first. 


As part of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, I ordered some new PRP harnesses.  I had some questions before I ordered and called to speak with someone to confirm that I order the correct item that has clip-in tabs for the lap belts.  All set, order placed, package received a few days later only to discover the lap belts don't have the "clip-in" tabs that I had specifically asked about and they are sewn in so they can't be replaced.  I called them yesterday (with dread about the return process I would surely endure), provided my order number, explained the situation and without any back and forth the rep on their end put me on hold briefly to confirm that they had the lap belts I needed in stock and then promptly put in an expedited order to get them to me.  No mention of returning the ones I have, just simply wanted to get me what I needed as quickly as possible. 


Don't we all wish the vendors we deal with worked this way.  Big thumbs up from me on PRP customer service.

Based on the flight sequences alone in the trailers it looks like this new one has raised the bar from the original.  Hopefully the story line will be great as well.  Good cast.

See the link below.  I have these eye bolts that my lap harness belts attach to.  In order to attach the belt, I use the clip in style tab shown here. These tabs are permanently sewn into the end of the belts. So the ones I originally received were the non clip in style tab. 

Hope this makes sense when you see the images on the pages below.

Yuck!  Sorry, TMAC.

I'd just run it up to Justin, but that definitely isn't south of Alpharetta.  I also had Allsouth help me once with the tundra.

I am in Blairsville today...Kell wanted to go see the snow, so we did.  Many cars and trucks on the side of the road, and a lot facing the wrong way.

No problem in the Ferd though...4x4 FTW.

Highway was blocked at some point due to being not passible.

Yeah I saw some people on Facebook with videos of the highway. We ended up getting about 5-6” up here but the real issue was the grade. I tried to move it down to the bottom of the hills as soon as it started snowing but it was too late. I had it in 4 low in first gear, but once the backend broke loose I just had to aim for a tree so I didn’t go over the side

Restaurants usually know within reason when an inspector comes around. Pretty easy to bs and get things to pass. I get the article not talking about a health score but things are not also 100% in a restaurant and people are fine.

So many people spreads germs and do not know they are. Wash your hands then touch your mask....well may wanna go wash your hands. I've done quite a few swabs, plating, incubation, and counting. The amount of bacteria that is around is unreal but that is why we have an immunity system.

Why haven't all of the homeless people died off from Covid? Especially with all of their mask and 6ft part?

"A CDC report on homeless shelters in four U.S. cities — Boston, Seattle, San Francisco and Atlanta — found that 25% of residents in 19 shelters tested positive for the novel coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, from March 27 to April 15."

Restaurants usually know within reason when an inspector comes around. Pretty easy to bs and get things to pass. I get the article not talking about a health score but things are not also 100% in a restaurant and people are fine.

So many people spreads germs and do not know they are. Wash your hands then touch your mask....well may wanna go wash your hands. I've done quite a few swabs, plating, incubation, and counting. The amount of bacteria that is around is unreal but that is why we have an immunity system.

Why haven't all of the homeless people died off from Covid? Especially with all of their mask and 6ft part?

First, you're using "Karen" incorrectly.

Second, facts is facts (as modified by statisticians).

Direct from God (Fox):

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/second-quarter-gdp-plunges-32-9-worst-decline-on-record.amp

Second-quarter GDP plunges 32.9%, worst decline on record


"WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy shrank at a dizzying 33% annual rate in the April-June quarter — by far the worst quarterly plunge ever — when the viral outbreak shut down businesses, throwing tens of millions out of work and sending unemployment surging to 14.7%, the government said Thursday."


Yes, I was trolling...lol.

The post wasn't inherintly or explicitly political; It was just one report of many to back up my assertion (that was challenged) about the economy which I tied to why homeless people quantities may be increasing as homeless people are killed by Covid19.

I did figure some folks sensitive/aligned to the current administration might take it as bait.

I happened to read this paragraph in a blog post by the novelist Theodore Dalrymple, and found it amusing.

Quote
While on the subject of compensations wrought by the COVID, there is also to be mentioned the disappearance for a time of Greta Thunberg from the newspapers and other media. When people speak of the Second Wave, it is of her that I think: Will there be a second wave of Greta Thunberg? I wonder what odds the bookmakers give on this important question.

I don’t ever go to Lowe’s. Just don’t like the store. 

I love my Roswell HD. 

Good story.  First Crawling for Reid...we needed 30 or 40 buckets for the raffle.  Didn’t really want to buy them. I went into my Roswell HD and just talked to the General Manager. He was all in.  Gave us the buckets we needed...super cool.
